Where Young Minds are exposed to Big Ideas

Ever wondered what happens inside a science lab, a tech start-up or a cutting-edge hospital?

At KQ Liverpool, we open those doors for students; letting them see, touch and experience the exciting opportunities waiting for them.

From illustrated books and fun workshops for younger pupils, to workplace visits and paid internships for teenagers, our free programmes help students connect the dots between school, skills and their future careers.
