The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and the AMRC Training Centre have been proud supporters of North Star Science School for the past five years — and they’re back again in 2025 as both a sponsor and workshop host!

Why They Love North Star

For the AMRC team, one of the best things about North Star Science School is the opportunity to network with local businesses and young people who share a passion for STEM. The event brings together industry, education, and inspiration — all under one roof — helping to build vital connections that spark curiosity and ambition.

Why Other Businesses Should Get Involved

Their message to other organisations is clear:

“It is a fantastic event to be involved with. Having a local STEM event of this type is a brilliant opportunity to widen awareness of STEM and your own business.”

Supporting and taking part in North Star Science School not only helps raise awareness of the importance of STEM but also provides a platform for businesses to inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators.

Why It Matters for Students

The AMRC and AMRC Training Centre believe that the most valuable part of the event for students is the exposure to the range of STEM employers and career paths available locally.

“It’s a hands-on, practical event that students can really engage with — and it shows them the exciting opportunities waiting for them right here in their community.”

The Work-wise Foundation is proud to have long-standing partners like the University of Sheffield AMRC and AMRC Training Centre, whose ongoing support continues to inspire and shape the future of STEM in South Yorkshire and beyond.
