🏆 Floating Wind Challenge: the World's Greatest Student Challenge in Offshore Wind 🌊💡 To meet net-zero targets, the offshore wind industry must significantly scale its workforce — but where will this talent come from? That’s why we created The 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲, a global student competition designed to accelerate innovation while bridging the talent gap. Inspired by competitions like the World Solar Challenge and Solar Decathlon, we’re giving stu

STEM 🔬 👩‍💻 ➗ You've heard of it, but what does it actually stand for and why is it vitally important? Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Four fields that share an emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking. In August 2023, STEM Women reported that only 31% of core UK STEM students in Higher Education are women or non-binary, with a focus on physical sciences rather than engineering and technology, resulting in a lack of representation of women

Today, I had the joy to talk to my daughter's class about wind energy, the engineering disciplines involved and the beauty of science. With the blades of wind turbines rotating (indoors with an artificial fan) I saw how much it counts for kids to see applied science & engineering, following their questions and involvement to build and then to test.
