Jorden Birch

Chief Operations Officer

My passion is diversity in STEM, I wanted to create opportunities for underrepresented young people to access more STEM opportunities and create a community of STEMspriation both locally and nationally. I also wanted to provide more access and knowledge about STEM careers to teachers and families, creating STEM conversations in every classroom and home.

I have an engineering degree and after a brief stint in management decided to become a secondary science teacher and never looked back. I have over 10 years’ experience, teaching in a range of schools and was lucky enough to join the CST programme with the Royal Academy of Engineering back in 2016, leading in STEM for my region.
