Summary & Highlights 2023
“I absolutely loved being in the STEMHaus summer school this year, it’s the only summer school I’ve ever done and has definitely inspired me to look for one to do next year in year 12. I loved the lessons, instructors and topics; I’ve already encouraged my younger brother to join next year!”
“I feel the best thing about the summer school was being able to interact with lecturers and people who follow the same paths through A-levels and university that I will hopefully be. This helped me to understand the subjects I want to continue with in the future from a different perspective.”

Is Anyone Paying Attention? The Psychology of Climate Change Action
Dr Paul Hutchings, Associate Professor of Psychology UWTSD
Is Anyone Paying Attention? The Psychology of Climate Change Action
‘The time for climate scientists to focus on climate change is over; it is now the realm of engineers and psychologists’. This was a statement from a leading climate change scientist several years ago. Engineers are needed to design the tools we will require to combat climate change, and psychologists are needed to design strategies to encourage changes in behaviour. This interactive workshop will introduce some of the research behind behaviour change and persuasive communication and challenge you to design ways of influencing people and organisations.’
