We started out in 2021 looking to fill a gap in EUSA’s societies – there were plenty of STEM societies, and a few volunteering ones too. Then we came along! If you are interested in promoting STEM to local children in the Edinburgh area then we’re the society for you!
A selection of the projects we’re working on at the moment… coming soon!
Aimed at S2-S4, this workshop uses urinalysis dipsticks to explore how the body homeostatically regulates glucose.

You can make a lasting impact to the lives of young people in and around Edinburgh. Put your skills and knowledge to use and share your passion for STEM.
We’re a friendly bunch who meet up regularly to discuss all things STEM & Hands-On! business. If you’re looking to meet like minded people then feel free to pop along to a meeting to see if you want to join us.
You will learn a lot about yourself through mentoring. Not only will you get to understand yourself better but you’ll pick up all sorts of CV-worthy transferable skills.
We can offer information sessions for your pupils on the realities of life studying STEM at university.
Hands-On! is entirely run by student volunteers. Our time is free, as are many of the activities we deliver!
We work with you, and our partners in the wider University to deliver engaging sessions to your pupils targeting key aspects of the curriculum.
