EtonSTEM

As one of only six students elected from a pool of 540 to serve on the EtonSTEM Committee, I was entrusted with a leadership role that required both initiative and responsibility. In this capacity, I collaborated closely with the heads of various science departments to oversee the school’s STEM-related activities and ensure their smooth execution.

One of my first initiatives was reviving the Junior STEM Club, which I reshaped into a vibrant weekly forum where younger students could explore science and mathematics through hands-on projects, experiments, and problem-solving sessions. I planned and delivered these sessions, developing engaging material that not only built scientific curiosity but also encouraged active participation.

Beyond this, I was responsible for coordinating large-scale demonstrations and high-profile school events that showcased STEM in action, often working with staff to bring complex concepts to life in interactive ways. I also played a leading role in organising inter-house STEM competitions, ensuring fair participation, designing challenges, and motivating peers to apply scientific thinking creatively under pressure.

Balancing the logistical demands of these projects with their academic purpose required significant organisation, teamwork, and leadership, but the impact was tangible: wider student engagement with STEM, more collaborative problem-solving across year groups, and an atmosphere where intellectual curiosity was celebrated at scale.
