Target Groups & Inclusion
Our commitment to reaching diverse audiences and ensuring inclusive participation.
๐ฅ Who Will Participate?
The festival is designed for adolescents aged 13โ17, combining sports with STEM learning opportunities.
๐ Primary Focus Groups
We specifically prioritise:
- ๐ง Girls โ Gender-based challenges in both sports and STEM performance
- ๐ Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Youth โ Lower access to health and learning opportunities
๐ Participation Goal: 60% girls + 60% disadvantaged youth (ยฑ5%) in all activities
๐ก Why Inclusion?
Because research shows:
- ๐ Youth physical activity declines with age
- ๐งช Gaps exist in science & math achievement

Our project helps close these gaps by connecting movement with learning.

Throughout the event, every participant will have access to:
- ๐ฌ STEM-based sport stands
- ๐ Coaches and youth leaders encouraging inclusion
