Boys in a science labaratory Generating genius. A project to create the next generation of doctors and research scientists in jamaica and the uk

The main objective of Generating Genius is to increase the social mobility of boys from deprived areas by opening their minds to the joys and experience of Science and Engineering.

Generating Genius uses Science, hands–on Engineering, apprentice style competition to mentor boys from underprivileged backgrounds into higher education. It uses residential summer schools based in a number of top British Universities to nurture talented students into Science and Engineering. The boys start at age 11 /12 and attend each summer for the next 5 years, doing top level hands-on Science, technology and Engineering.

We now know our methodology works because the majority of the boys on the programme score an average 10 GCSEs most grade As. They will also go on to choose Science A’ levels where we have seen few working-class and black students featured. We have developed a model that works for all boys from all backgrounds.

The programme is backed by some heavy hitting sponsors Shell, Royal Air Force, Johnson Matthey and the British Heart Foundation, who love the philosophy of growing a new generation of talented youth.

Generating Genius not only works through Universities but its most recent venture has been to take the graduating batch of 16 year olds to RAF Cranwell, the Officer training airbase and centre for aircraft engineering. The boys had to undertake some of the modules that real trainee officers would have to study. One of the favorites was the flight simulator training, where our students learn how to land a million pound jet fighter.

Generating Genius has now emerged as the top out of school programme for boys in the Uk. It also has developed a number of in school programmes which are high in demand. We work with schools, local authorities, Universities and Science support agencies.
