Education in science, technology, engineering and maths

We actively support science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) through a range of programmes in more than 20 countries. NXplorers, our flagship STEM programme, aims to help young people develop creative thinking to bridge the skills gap. NXplorers is now active in 19 countries, and engaged more than 120,000 students in 2023.

In 2023, in the UK, our year-long Girls in Energy course taught some 230 young women about energy and career opportunities in the energy industry. And in Kazakhstan, we signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Education to strengthen co-operation in promoting critical, creative and systemic thinking by using the NXplorers methodology.
