Come along to our exclusive event where we will explore the impact Black STEM teachers can have in inspiring a new generation.

This November, Teach First and Mission 44 are bringing together Black STEM professionals, thought leaders and teachers to discuss the power of representation in schools, and the impact Black STEM teachers can have in inspiring a new generation of Black scientists, engineers, mathematicians and inventors.  

Featuring a virtual presentation from Stemettes founder, Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, and hosted by BBC Radio 1Xtra presenter and broadcaster Richie Brave, this event will spark discussion on representation in education and ways to increase diversity in teaching and in STEM professions. 

This event is the ideal opportunity to learn more about the Teach First Training Programme as a paid route into the classroom and network with school leaders, teachers and Teach First recruiters. 

What to expect

  • Virtual and in-person panel discussions. 
  • Networking opportunities with Black STEM professionals, teachers and leaders. 
  • A chance to speak with Teach First ambassadors about their experiences on the Training Programme and in school. 
  • Meet Teach First recruiters to find out more about becoming a STEM teacher. 

About Teach First’s partnership with Mission 44
