Our impact

India STEM Foundation
The Spectris Foundation is funding the Tinkering Lab at The Bharat English School and Junior College in Pune. A science classroom which provides students the opportunity to learn hands-on science and technology in their school and for surrounding schools.
In November, the foundation’s Chair, Derek Harding has the privilege of visiting the school where he met with the students and teachers to learn about their experiences and see firsthand the impact of the India Stem Foundation.
“I recently had the privilege to visit the Bharat English School and Junior College in Pune, India. I had the opportunity to meet the children and teachers who are being supporting by a partnership between the Spectris Foundation and the India Stem Foundation, through the creation of a “STEM TINKERING LAB”. For many of the children, the tinkering lab is the first opportunity that they have to engage with Science and Technology and it was an extremely moving experience to see their enthusiasm and excitement. The Spectris Foundation was established to champion equal opportunities for those with a passion for technology and a desire to engineer a better world. The teachers and children in Pune are the living embodiment of this purpose” – Derek Harding.
The Spectris Foundation has awarded funding towards this powerful project until 2025, to learn more see here https://spectrisfoundation.com/india-stem-foundation/

7 STEM Grants awarded in 2023!
We are proud to have awarded a further seven STEM grants this year! We are committing to support charities for up to three years and are continuing to nourish our partnerships worldwide.
The Spectris Foundation are delighted to announce that we have awarded over £700,000 of STEM funding to 7 charitable partners.
We are extending our fantastic partnerships with Technovation, African Gifted Foundation, Engineering Education Scheme Wales, and the SAE Foundation. We aim to build on the brilliant work that has been achieved and hope to make impactful change in STEM Education internationally.
In additional, we have formed exciting new partnerships with the Lightyear Foundation and Apps for Good. Both are UK charities which are using real life solutions and technology to address the gap in STEM education for people living with a disability, with special educational needs, or within areas of deprivation.
Many of our charitable partners rely on volunteers to design programs, mentor and inspire students. In addition to funding, The Spectris Foundation plans to enhance these grants by coordinating volunteering opportunities with Spectris’s talented employees. By working together and pulling on professional experience, we will engineer bright futures.
Thank you to our charity partners, we are excited to be working alongside you!
