[Image Description] In the large central image, a woman sits on the floor smiling holding a green ball, surrounded by scattered colourful balls. A young girl in pink, wearing a red crash-hat, crouches nearby, reaching for a ball. Surrounding the main image are four smaller circular frames: Top left (blue frame): A woman helps a young boy push a ball through a long orange tube. Top right (green frame): A young girl reaches into a bucket full of multicolored balls. Bottom left (pink frame): A child focuses intently on blowing up a green baloon. Bottom center (yellow frame): Two children work together with large cardboard tubes on a blue tarp. Bottom right corner: STEM Futures Logo with supporting schools, including Lightyear Foundation, and Avantor. The background features playful polka dots in vibrant colours, adding to the cheerful and dynamic atmosphere.
