who we are

Founded in the UK in 2023, we are a team of educators with a passion for diversity and inclusion. We exist to fill a gap between the need for more equitable access to quality, inclusive physics education and the professional development needs of educators to make that happen.

Increasingly, physicists are attending to ethical matters related to systemic oppression and underrepresentation of marginalised groups, particularly with respect to women, people of colour, people in LGBTQ+ communities, and people with disabilities. We leverage our extensive teaching and leadership experience in the education sector, our passion for diversity and inclusion, and our own lived experiences, to specialise in  curriculum development and training for science educators. 

• Collaboration: we recognise and draw out the expertise in others
• Authenticity: we're genuine people who strive to make real difference
• Imagination: we believe in the power of bold, creative ideas   
• Passion: our love for what we do is obvious
• Optimism: we believe that things can change – and change for the better

As educators, we recognise and understand the myriad of challenges faced by the sector at large and within individual schools and communities. We understand the pressures of delivering an overloaded curriculum, often in challenging circumstances, as well as the drain on resources – both in terms physics expertise, and in terms of scientific training and equipment. 

Our approach to supporting schools, colleges and universities is therefore based on a shared knowledge and recognition of these challenges, and together, finding ways to enact sustainable changes that develop educators and improve the quality of physics education for children and young people. Our approach centres the following two principles: 

• Being strategic: quick wins are great, but true change requires long-term decision-making and commitments. A sharp, cohesive strategy trumps doing 'lots of things'! 
• Always striving, never arriving: inclusion is a process. We encourage a mindset that embraces the ever-evolving and challenging landscape of education and of DEI, and an openness to continuous trial, error, and improvement.
