A promotional graphic for the Lightyear Foundation’s SEND in STEM Network session. The background is white with green and purple curved shapes and bubble-like circles. At the top, large text reads: “SEND in STEM Network, December 3rd, 4–5pm (Online).” Beneath it, smaller text states: “Theme: STEM for Young People with PMLD with Lime Academy Ravensbourne. Contact hannah@lightyearfoundation.org

Along the bottom are three circular photos of learners taking part in sensory STEM activities. In the first, a facilitator holds a bubble making device while a learner with their fingers in their ears blows into it. In the second, a pupil and an adult investigate materials on a yellow tray. In the third, a learner works with a facilitator to explore trays of feathers, coloured playdough, and other tactile resources. The Lightyear Foundation logo sits at the bottom centre.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nd3f2t3xidrjnvguvizqipz6/bafkreib3x6xwzug3wwdq4hjhslsqhb2ohoeht6jorzbjpaag4m5lxnn67y)

A collage of photos titles "STEM Futures funded by Avantor", on a purple background with floating bubbles. The Lightyear Foundation logo sits at the bottom. 6 photos show pupils engaging in different sensory STEM activities: a child reaches towards floating bubbles; a student exploring animal footprints with support from an adult; a learner watching closely as a facilitator models blowing into a tube that launches leaves; another child in a supportive standing frame investigates leaves and water with an adult; a learner with their fingers in their ears ass they blow on a bubble making machine help by a teacher and a final scene shows a learner experimenting with trays of feathers, playdough, and other tactile materials with guidance from an adult.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nd3f2t3xidrjnvguvizqipz6/bafkreic55wx4ottz4miqk6arkgqypgliodon6rhgvn32at4oft4vjkh6vu)
