Case studies and role models
Case studies and role models
Each STEM Challenge is linked to real people working on London 2012. We will feature different people, their roles and career backgrounds as the STEM Challenges progress. We will find out why they do what they do and how they got into it. We'll also be asking how it feels to be part of the preparations for the London 2012 Games!
Architects, electricians, sound engineers, clothing designers, builders, finance officers, nutritionalists, sports competitors - you'll find huge range of people associated with London 2012. You can see the case studies on this page - they will grow in number as the STEM Challenges develop.
Participants will also have the chance to meet STEM Ambassadors.
