STEM Talk - BOOM! Behind the Bangs in STEM

Work Inspiration and Preparation Provided by The Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers

From fireballs to race cars, Fran Scott’s career lights up science in the coolest way. She’s not just a pyrotechnician — she’s also a TV presenter, author, and museum director! Fran shows how creativity, curiosity and (yes!) explosions can all be part of a career in STEM.

If you’ve ever thought science was boring, get ready to change your mind.
