Abstract
Psychology is a valuable Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) discipline, but one which could do far more at communicating its value to the wider public. This paper discusses how popular initiatives, such as The University of Northampton’s STEM Champions programme, enhance Psychology’s STEM membership, while increasing public engagement and participation. These opportunities also enhance the Psychology STEM student journey, by helping them to develop employability-related skills and allowing them to obtain valuable experience in the environments that they may later be working in.
