Jessica Okoro is a Technology Agile Project Manager at The Times Newspaper, News UK. She previously studied Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science at De Montfort University, where she overcame struggles of learning using traditional teaching methods in class, to developing her own learning resources and using informal methods at home to achieving higher than what was expected of her in the final Science and Mathematics exams. Once she managed to get into university to study her degree, she then became very interested in the way STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) was introduced and taught in schools this was her motivation in starting BeScience STEM-an a multi-award winning organisation which gets the whole community engaged in STEM using innovative and creative techniques. Her work has been endorsed by the likes of the Prime Minister and enabled her to guest talk and share her ideas worldwide.
