Leonie Briggs runs workshops and sessions that inspire children to love science subjects.
A former chemistry teacher who wants to inspire the next generation of scientists has been named as one of the UK's top 100 female entrepreneurs.
Mrs Briggs now delivers workshops and education material to get children interested in science, technology, engineering, arts and maths . "I was so passionate about young people not missing out on practical science skills, I just raided our house, the garage, the kitchen - anything that I could get my hands on that was nice and safe," she recalled.
Mrs Briggs, who lives in Hoyland Common with husband David and their children, said she hoped her sessions would leave a lasting impression and love for STEAM subjects."To play such a tiny part or even to just ignite a little spark in what they might go on to do in the future, I think is such a privilege and honour."
