Testimonials

“PEXpo was ideal for us as it combined our interests in science and sport. We connected with experts in education, STEM, and sport, conducting interviews, focus groups, and surveys, which gave us a great introduction to research. We then entered the project into the BT Young Scientist and won.”

“As a STEM teacher, I see PE as an applied science. PEXpo helps students develop independent research skills, creativity, and personal growth. We start in first year and continue through to senior levels.”
