I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here is an outreach activity, engaging school students with people working in STEM.

By taking part, you:

• Develop communication skills
• Find out what young people think about maths
• Inspire the next generation in STEM through rewarding public engagement
• Help students apply their learning to real-world challenges and careers
• Share your work and experiences to help school students relate
• Support students to break down stereotypes of what a mathematician is ‘supposed’ to be

Everything happens online. Take part at times that suit your schedule, from anywhere with an internet connection. Chat with students in text-only live chats, answer their questions about you, your work, your salary, or any other topic – from robots to pizza toppings! Connect with students, rather than talking at them, by answering their questions about what matters the most to them. Uncover young people's ideas about science and  gain a fresh perspective on your work.

How to apply: Please email volunteering@psiweb.org by 12 December 2025 if you're interested. To find out more, visit the I'm a Scientist website.
