A History of Innovation
Devon and Cornwall possess a rich STEM heritage stretching back centuries. Cornwall's tin and copper mining industry drove pioneering advances in steam engine technology. Richard Trevithick, born in Cornwall in 1771, built the world's first high-pressure steam engine and the first full-scale working railway locomotive. In 1962, Goonhilly Earth Station on the Lizard Peninsula made history by receiving the first live transatlantic television signal via the Telstar satellite. The Met Office relocated its headquarters to Exeter in 2003, bringing one of the world's most powerful supercomputers to the region.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Richard Trevithick, born in Illogan, Cornwall in 1771, is regarded as one of the most important figures in engineering history, with his steam engines powering the industrial revolution. Humphry Davy, born in Penzance in 1778, discovered several chemical elements including sodium and potassium, and invented the Davy safety lamp that saved countless miners' lives. Thomas Newcomen of Dartmouth built the first practical atmospheric steam engine in 1712, a precursor to the machines that would transform industry. Elizabeth Carne, born near Hayle in Cornwall in 1817, became the first woman elected as a member of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall in 1865, publishing papers on cliff boulders, granite formation, and metamorphic processes that challenged prevailing geological theories.
Devon & Cornwall’s STEM Economy Today
Today, Devon and Cornwall are experiencing a resurgence in high-technology industries. Spaceport Cornwall at Newquay Airport provides horizontal satellite launch capability from UK soil. The Met Office in Exeter is one of the region's largest STEM employers, operating advanced climate modelling and weather prediction systems. Goonhilly Earth Station has been repurposed as a commercial satellite communications hub supporting European Space Agency and NASA deep-space missions. The FaBTest wave energy test site off Falmouth advances marine renewable energy research.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Devon and Cornwall offer an increasingly diverse range of STEM career pathways. The Met Office recruits meteorologists, data scientists, software engineers, and climate researchers, with apprenticeship and graduate routes. The space sector at Spaceport Cornwall and Goonhilly creates roles in satellite engineering, mission operations, and space data analysis. The University of Exeter is recognised for environmental science, engineering, and computer science, while Plymouth is known for marine science. The marine renewable energy sector provides further opportunities.
Investing in STEM Education in Devon & Cornwall
There's a persistent myth that serious STEM careers mean relocating to London or the South East. Devon and Cornwall are proving that wrong. The Met Office operates one of the world's most powerful supercomputers from Exeter. Goonhilly Earth Station tracks deep-space missions for the European Space Agency. Spaceport Cornwall is preparing to launch satellites from Newquay. Marine renewable energy research is accelerating off the Cornish coast. These are globally significant STEM operations, and they're all hiring. For schools in the South West, this changes the conversation about what's possible. Children who develop strong science and computing skills can pursue ambitious STEM careers without leaving the region that raised them. That matters enormously for communities that have historically lost their most talented young people to bigger cities.
