A Festival with a Purpose<\/h2>\n
In 2024, SMRRF raised over \u00a394,000 to support neurodiverse young people in STEM, with 1,000+ attendees from across the UK turning up to celebrate innovation, community, and creativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

All proceeds from the SMRRF will go to the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation (SMF). SMF is a charity dedicated to supporting neurodivergent young people in the fields of engineering and STEM. It was founded following the tragic loss of our dear friend, Sanjay Mortimer, co-founder of E3D and a visionary in the world of 3D printing. Sanjay\u2019s achievements were not in spite of his neurodivergence, but because of it, and they continue to inspire others with your support.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
