With our HQ located in Glasgow, we have been involved in a broad range of regional STEM events and activities for many years, including:

• Working with DYW (Developing the Young Workforce) on careers fairs, the No Wrong Path careers campaign and hosting the DYW Live Introduction to Offshore Renewable Energy course
• Working with the Glasgow Science Centre, in particular the Curious About Programme
• Mentoring schools through the Primary Engineer programme and careers talks as part of the Engineering Leaders Awards
• Creating classroom resources with Falkirk Community Trust and working with the University of Glasgow on the Climate Smart Teacher training programme
• Supporting the EDT Industrial Cadets Bronze and Silver awards programmes both as mentors and judges for the regional and national finals
• Mentors on the award winning Glasgow universities (Strathclyde, Glasgow, Caledonian) Equate Scotland Wind Energy Project challenge, which was started by one of our former interns
• Sponsoring a Glasgow School to participate in the First Lego League Challenge and hosting work experience placements and internships.

The National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth is home to the most complete set of offshore wind test and validation facilities in the world and as a result is the ideal place to influence young STEM learners:

• Destination for hundreds of young visitors every year who are exploring a future in the renewables industry, careers and technology
• A founding member of Energy Central, the inward investment and skills partnership, creating opportunities for growth, training and jobs in Blyth
• A lead partner in STEM@EnergyCentral who deliver STEM outreach to thousands of young learners annually from across the region
• A member of the Blyth Town Deal board, helping to secure millions of pounds for key projects that will regenerate Blyth and create hundreds of green jobs
• A board member and sponsor of Blyth Tall Ship who deliver maritime training and skills programmes that build confidence and provide employment pathways for local people.

As owners of the Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine, we directly support STEM provision for young learners at the nearby Levenmouth Academy:

• Funding a full-time STEM Principal Teacher to drive STEM engagement across the school
• Sponsoring investment in new VR kit to enhance STEM teaching resources
• Funding STEM clubs and activities
• Providing bursaries and mentoring to students moving on to read STEM subjects in Higher Education.

With the opening of the Floating Wind Innovation Centre (FLOWIC), our presence is growing in North East Scotland with support already including:

• Working with ESP and Dundee and Angus College on the Step into Renewables
• Supporting the My Energy Future programme with inspiration on the different careers available in the energy industries
• Hosting STEM activities in partnership with the Young Engineers and Science Club and the Aberdeen Science Centre.
• Discussing career paths and opportunities in the offshore sector as part of the ForeSEA your Future event at Subsea Expo.
• Providing virtual careers and STEM talks as part of the Aberdeen Science Centre Learning Lab: Powering the Future.

The team at our Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence actively engage with young learners, delivering sessions on marine energy, FLOW, hydrogen and Data & Digital:

• Created hydrogen resources to teach Key Stage 2 & 3 students, available on the MH:EK website
• Working with Pembrokeshire College to help deliver a Destination Renewable course for Key Stage 4 learners
• Engineering team deliver weekly technical seminars to BTEC learners at Wales Further Education College
• Delivering STEM Sessions for Welsh Valleys Engineering Project and supporting the Pembrokeshire First Lego League
• Working with the EESW Engineering Challenge programme across Wales providing innovation challenges, and designing a floating wind platform for the META Educational Project.

Our Operations & Maintenance Centre of Excellence is located in the Port of Grimsby, with teams engaging with local education partners to deliver STEM programmes and raise awareness of offshore renewable energy opportunities:

• Partnering with Engineering North Lincs University Technical College (ENLUTC) to develop Generation Net Zero, a suite of rooms where primary schools students can explore software coding, circuit building, model making and rocket launching
• Framing a curriculum project with ENLUTC around a real industry scenario, where Year 9 engineering students now work on a ORE Catapult moisture sensor, developed originally for use in the industry
• The ExplORE work experience programme, where students of varying ages and backgrounds engaged in a collaborative projects to develop their STEM related skills.
