Career learning
Online green careers workshops
We work directly with industry professionals to bring real-world STEM careers straight into your classroom.
These online workshops give students the opportunity to meet the people behind the professions, helping to challenge common misconceptions about STEM careers and who can pursue them. By connecting with professionals from a range of backgrounds, students see that there isn’t just one “type” of person who works in STEM.
Students gain valuable insight into the diverse journeys, challenges and opportunities that shape careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — making future pathways feel more accessible, relevant and achievable.
High school career days
In partnership with your event or school, our team can deliver ½ day or full day in-school workshops offering up to five activity stations (mix of pupil self-led, client volunteer supported and consultant - facilitated).
Stations are designed to be accessible, fun and linked to real-world applications in renewable energy careers. Activities can include:
– solar circuits
– solar toy experiments
– blade angle experiments
– blade type experiments
– battery energy storage systems (BESS) hand crank challenge
Volunteer
Help Inspire the next generation of STEM thinkers
Many students have never met anyone working in a STEM career and often have no idea how to pursue one themselves. You can help change that.
By spending just 30 minutes preparing and 30 minutes chatting live with students via a webinar, you could become a volunteer STEM ambassador.
You’ll share what your job involves, the everyday skills you use and what you enjoy about your work.
If you're interested in helping students see themselves in a STEM future, we’d love to hear from you. Find out more on our blog
