Our year in numbers

It’s one thing to say how much we do, but numbers are always useful. Here are some of the numbers we’re proudest of. Next year, we’ll be even prouder

262 STEM AMBASSADORS TRAINED BY US

Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Ambassadors take their scientific and industry experience into the classroom, sharing their love of learning with pupils at all levels.

100,000 VISITS to our website

We’ve now redeveloped and re-structured all our websites, so we’re expecting this number to grow. A lot.

68 schools visited Science Oxford Live in 2008

Science Oxford Live is the place for children and young people to experience science. They do experiments, discover knowledge and learn through play. Any school can book a class visit during term time. Fun science. Real learning.

284 HIGH-TECH COMPANIES WORKED WITH US

The support we offer high-tech companies is flexible and effective – from specialist initiatives like our ICT forum, through to more generalist initiatives like Peer Mentoring, the Experience Exchange, networking events and our Technology Showcase.

1,800+ BUSINESS NEWSLETTER READERS

Our regular newsletters are among our most popular tools. Each month, we make sure that Oxfordshire’s high-tech economy knows what is going on.

20,000 PUPILS REACHED BY OUR PROGRAMMES

Possibly our favourite number. The more pupils we reach, the better our outlook as an economy and a country. Bring Science Oxford Next to your school and help us build the future.

3,000 VISITORS TO THE SHELL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR EXHIBITION

Proof, if any were needed, that people are entranced by the natural world. The Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition was our most successful event in 2008, and we’re looking forward to next year’s.
