"Enterprising Science"

bp worked in partnership with University College London, Kings College London, and the Science Museum Group on a collaborative research and development program for science education called “Enterprising Science.” 

bp led a partnership of education specialists to develop courses for schools and resources for science organizations to use Science Capital to build engagement in STEM and actively engage and include those who are underrepresented in STEM. bp also invests in STEM education through the bp Global STEM academies, teacher continuing professional development and putting quality teaching resources into classrooms through the bp Educational Service.
