STEM in Hertfordshire: Why It Matters for Your Students
A History of Innovation
Hertfordshire helped build the jet age. At Hatfield, the de Havilland Aircraft Company designed and built the Comet, the world's first jet airliner, which made its maiden flight on 27 July 1949 and entered scheduled service in 1952. The same Hatfield site later built and tested the Blue Streak rocket, which formed the lower stage of Europa, the European launcher that was a precursor to Ariane. A few miles east at Stevenage, the aerospace tradition shifted into space, and the county has stayed at the leading edge of British engineering ever since. St Albans, meanwhile, stands on the Roman city of Verulamium, the third largest town in Roman Britain and a centre of trade and engineering long before the aircraft arrived.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, the aircraft designer and manufacturer whose company produced the Tiger Moth, the Mosquito and the Comet, built his business at Hatfield and died in Watford in 1965. Stephen Hawking, the theoretical physicist and cosmologist, grew up in St Albans, attended St Albans School from 1952 to 1959, and was inspired there by his mathematics teacher Dikran Tahta before going on to Oxford and Cambridge. Verulamium itself was excavated in the 1930s by the archaeologists Mortimer Wheeler and Tessa Wheeler, whose careful methods helped establish modern field archaeology.
Hertfordshire’s STEM Economy Today
Stevenage is the centre of the UK's major space activities. Airbus Defence and Space builds satellites there, including ESA's Solar Orbiter and the Aeolus wind-mapping mission, and it assembled the ExoMars rover Rosalind Franklin and is building the lander platform that will carry it to Mars. Stevenage is also home to GSK's research hub and the Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, now the UK's largest cell and gene therapy cluster. Roche has a significant presence in Welwyn Garden City, and Ocado Group runs its grocery-technology and robotics operations from Hatfield. The University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield, whose roots lie in the de Havilland aerospace works, runs astrophysics and space science degrees and operates the Bayfordbury teaching observatory. The county also hosts Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden near Watford, where the Harry Potter films were made, and the long-established Elstree Studios at Borehamwood, anchoring a substantial film and visual-effects sector.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Aerospace and space engineering offer high-skill careers at Airbus Defence and Space in Stevenage, which runs apprenticeships and graduate routes in satellite and spacecraft engineering. The life sciences cluster around the Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, GSK and Roche opens routes into pharmaceutical research, manufacturing and cell and gene therapy. Ocado in Hatfield recruits software, robotics and data engineers. The University of Hertfordshire provides degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering, computer science, astrophysics and software, with strong industry links, while the film and visual-effects studios at Leavesden and Borehamwood create technical and digital production careers. Apprenticeships in engineering, electronics, software and laboratory science are available across the county, and proximity to London and Cambridge widens the options further.
Investing in STEM Education in Hertfordshire
The first jet airliner was built in Hatfield, and today the rover that will search for life on Mars was assembled a few miles away in Stevenage. Hertfordshire pupils grow up surrounded by world-class space, life sciences and technology employers, yet these companies consistently struggle to recruit enough engineers, scientists and software developers. STEM enrichment connects children to a heritage of innovation that runs from de Havilland and Stephen Hawking to the satellites and rovers being built on their doorstep, and shows them that those careers are real, local and within reach.
