YSL4 focuses on identifying the impact of STEM on people, society and the environment locally, nationally and internationally. YSLs will deliver activities, events or interactions which share this impact with others. In addition, YSLs are encouraged to explore and improve their own leadership and teamworking skills and qualities within their learning community.
YSL5 focuses on identifying current and future opportunities in STEM that are available to young people locally, nationally and internationally. YSLs will deliver activities, events or interactions which share these current and future opportunities with others. In addition, YSLs are encouraged to explore their own potential in STEM and how they may access the opportunities that STEM offers.
YSL6 focuses on identifying the skills, qualities and behaviours of good leaders and positive role models. At this level, YSLs are encouraged to explore the challenges and issues that exist in STEM such as stereotypes, misconceptions and outdated views and how they can positively challenge these through the delivery of activities, events or interactions. In addition, YSLs will learn the importance of health and safety and safeguarding when leading learning experiences for others.
STEM Leader 7 (SL7) can be completed by anyone +16 years who is supported by a trained Tutor Assessor. SL7 focuses on candidates identifying, researching and addressing a challenge in STEM and creating a project question. SL7s must set their project in the context of the wider world by linking their work with an individual(s), group(s) or organisation(s) in their field of study and must also consider alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Leadership is embedded throughout this award and SL7s must share their findings in a manner of their choice.
