Celebrating the DBS primary schools initiative; Shortlisted for Humber Renewables Education Award 2025!

We're thrilled to announce that our DBS (Dogger Bank South) primary schools initiative has been shortlisted for the prestigious Humber Renewables Awards 2025 in the 'Renewables Education' category!

Reflections on 2024

We launched our primary schools initiative in June 2024 and embarked on a rewarding journey with eight primary schools located along the proposed onshore export cable route for the DBS projects. Engaging with pupils aged 9 to 11 years in the schools and also at prominent STEM events like The Big Bang and Humber STEM, our education specialist, Mike Cargill from UKSTEM, inspired hundreds of pupils with dynamic and hands-on offshore wind themed activities. These activities not only sparked curiosity but also encouraged students to apply their STEM skills to tackle real-world challenges.

To ensure our impact remains long-lasting, each participating school received a STEM kit box. These boxes, filled with educational materials, empower teachers to independently facilitate STEM activities long after Mike has completed his workshops. Additionally, we offer videos and printable resources on our website to aid educators in maximising the use of these kits.

Looking Ahead to 2025

The initiative doesn't end here; 2025 promises to be equally exciting as we plan to collaborate with even more primary schools. We are committed to inspire pupils, support educators and highlight career opportunities in offshore wind. By instilling an appreciation for clean power at an early age, we are setting a foundation for a greener future and nurturing the innovators of tomorrow.

We look forward to attending the Humber Renewables Awards on May 1, 2025. This event, in collaboration with the Offshore Wind Connections conference running from April 30 to May 1, 2025, is sure to be a remarkable celebration of innovation and progress.

Stay tuned, and thank you for being part of our journey toward a sustainable future!
