Charlie Proctor, Head of Outreach, and Founder and

CEO of independent charity Science Creates

Outreach, discusses the importance of education and

outreach in diversifying and empowering the future of

science entrepreneurship, and shares the long-term

commitment of the charity to tackle career aspirations

in STEM.

Bringing the local community along on our journey of

scientific discovery and wonder has run through Science

Creates’ veins since the company’s first incubator

opened in 2017, when we started inviting local schools to

visit our labs and participate in workshops with our

members. In 2022, these efforts continued to be

cemented through the inception of Science Creates

Outreach — the company’s own registered charity —

dedicated to shaping the scientists and innovators

of tomorrow.
