STEM Career Pathway

At Digital Jersey, we believe the best way to learn is by doing. As the official Centre of Excellence for the global STEM Racing competition in Jersey, we provide students (ages 9–19) with a hands-on pathway into the tech and engineering sectors. Participants don’t just build cars; they manage a brand, pitch to industry experts, and master complex design and engineering principles. It’s more than a race it’s a launchpad into the global technology workforce.

Digital Jersey Tech Champions are students (aged 16+) who love tech and want to help shape the future. As a champion, you get to connect with Jersey’s tech community, build real‑world skills and become the go‑to digital role model in your school. You’ll take part in sessions with industry professionals and bring what you learn back to inspire other students. It’s a chance to grow your confidence, expand your network and open doors to future opportunities.

The Individual Challenger Activities are an exciting way for students to complete a short STEM project from home and gain an Industrial Cadets Challenger award. Each activity is designed by educational experts and allows students to use their creativity and imagination to complete a project in their own way and at their own pace.  Students are guided through the activity on the learning platform and will have access to support for any questions or queries along the way.  All students will get individual feedback on their project.

Once students have completed an Individual Industrial Cadets Challenger activity, they will join the alumni network and receive priority information about future EDT and Industrial Cadets activities.
