About Us
Cumbria STEM Centre Ltd ( formerly SETPOINT Cumbria) has been working very successfully with schools and businesses in Cumbria over the last five years. The SETPOINT Cumbria name has disappeared but all the activities run by SETPOINT Cumbria will continue under the Cumbria STEM Centre Ltd branding. All our work has been directly related to generating excitement and enthusiasm for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths [STEM] through linking schools and colleges with STEM related businesses.
Cumbria STEM Centre Ltd was formed in August 2008 after gaining two important contracts. The contracts are for Brokerage, Advice and Guidance to all schools and colleges in Cumbria and specifically relate to STEM Enhancement and Enrichment activities. Management of the STEM Ambassadors programme in Cumbria involves recruiting and training volunteers from STEM related businesses to work with schools, colleges and young people. All volunteers undergo a Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure process.
The contracts were awarded by STEMNET www.stemnet.org.uk and run from 1 August 2008 to 31 March 2011.
