The Tottenham Hotspur Foundation has launched the new science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) zone at its Percy House headquarters, which sits next to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Designed to boost hands-on education opportunities for young people in the local area, the facility will host industry-led workshops and offer formal qualifications.
Xavi Simons visited the zone during a recent tour of the area, joined by club legends Ledley King and Michael Dawson.
Pupils from Lea Valley Primary School were among the first to use the space, taking part in LEGO and robotics activities, while students from the Haringey Learning Partnership (HLP) competed in esports.
Gerry Robinson, executive head at HLP, said: "As a relatively small provision, our resources are quite limited, particularly around STEM and computer equipment, but it’s what many of our children are really passionate about and can really engage them in education.
"Having a space like this that they can come to in the local area is wonderful."
A study by Haringey Council said attainment and participation in STEM subjects were well below London and national benchmarks.
Andrew Wands, education manager at the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, said: "We know young people in our community have incredible potential, but often that potential goes untapped due to lack of access to the right opportunities.
"Our new STEM learning zone is about changing that."
The facility will be supported by STEM ambassadors from the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (LAET), the club-sponsored sixth form based on the stadium campus.
Jan Balon, head of LAET and a trustee of the foundation, said: "We have students who are interested in going into STEM-related careers and being able to get involved in this kind of project will be amazing."
Plans for the learning zone were drawn up with support from Creative Hut, specialists in STEM education.
