STEM education nonprofit building online learning platforms for underrepresented youth
Ignite Hubs is a UK-based STEM education charity (founded 2019) serving 7–18-year-olds with a focus on girls, students with disabilities, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The tech stack—React, Next.js, Python, Arduino, Micro:bit—reflects a dual approach: web-based learning platforms paired with hands-on hardware education. Active hiring across education, marketing, and data roles signals expansion of their online platform and impact measurement, though velocity has slowed recently.
