Biography

Liam is the Lead for STEM and Inclusion at Inmans Primary School in Hedon, East Yorkshire, and the founder of the Humber STEM Event. What began as an extracurricular pursuit has now become an integral part of his professional practice that has further reinforced his commitment to curriculum development and pupil engagement in science, both at Inmans and across the wider region. As part of Humber STEM, he has created a thriving community that provides real opportunities for children. The aim of the initiative, which started in 2022, is to inspire awe and wonder through hands-on experiments, engaging demonstrations, and by connecting professionals with pupils to enrich learning through real-world scientific inquiry and broader curriculum experiences.
