Hi there, I am Rosie from Lightyear Foundation, where we work to break down the barriers disabled and neurodivergent young people face when engaging with STEM.

You might be asking what STEM is? Well, it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths, but we're interested in what it really means to disabled and neurodivergent young people.

That's where Squar3roots comes in! Squar3roots is a podcast about STEM, but not as you know it. Here, young people are leading change in the community through inspirational conversations in STEM.

Each episode, you'll hear about the science, technology, engineering, and maths topics which are important and personal to young people, through conversations with people that inspire them.

So join us, and become part of our community where everyone is a scientist!
