Cambridge Science Centre

🚀 We’re set to inspire the next generation of Built Environment innovators. The built environment is responsible for 25% of the UK’s carbon emissions, yet careers in this vital sector remain largely hidden from young people. If we are to meet Net Zero 2050 goals, we must inspire the next generation to reimagine how we design, construct, and sustain our cities. At Cambridge Science Centre, we’re taking action. Together with leading industry partners—including Barnes Construction, Brockton Everlast, The Cambridge Building Society, Cemex, COEL, The Crown Estate, Trinity College Cambridge and Cambridge Science Park— we are developing an impactful hands-on STEM education programme focused on the future of sustainable construction. 💡 What’s in store for 2025? Get involved in our new events to help us develop the programme:  - Interactive workshops on cutting-edge building technologies - “Meet the Industry” events to connect young people with professionals - STEM clubs tackling real-world urban design challenges Watch out for these events from March onwards. Find them posted on our events page! 📣 Join Us We’re looking for more local government and industry partners across areas of planning and development, regulation, real estate, banking, architecture, construction, building materials, energy efficiency and urban biodiversity management to help shape this initiative. 📖 Read more about our project >> https://lnkd.in/eycRMCBB ✉️ Contact Cambridge Science Centre on programmes@cambridgesciencecentre.org to explore partnership opportunities.  #BuiltEnvironment #SustainableConstruction #NetZero2050 #UrbanDesign #GreenBuilding #SmartCities #FutureOfConstruction #STEMEducation #ScienceForAll #CharityPartners #EnergyEfficient #EnergyEfficientHome #Sustainability

Cambridge Science Centre was proud to host an exhilarating regional round of the FIRST Tech Challenge, where young minds put their STEM skills to the test in a high-energy robotics competition! Organised by FIRST Tech Challenge UK and in collaboration with Arm, teams of students came together and designed, built, and programmed their own robots to take on a series of complex challenges—showcasing not only technical skill but also creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. It was incredible to witness the passion and ingenuity of these future engineers and scientists!   A huge congratulations to all the participants for their dedication and resilience. Seeing young people so engaged in hands-on STEM learning meshes exactly with what Cambridge Science Centre is all about—empowering the next generation through discovery, experimentation, and real-world problem-solving.   🏆 Click through to read more about this excellent challenge and discover the winners! https://lnkd.in/eXjRfk9V
