The push towards net zero has never been more urgent than it is right now. For the majority of us this push is not for our own immediate benefit, but for the future generations to come, who, unfortunately, will face the environmental consequences of the damage already done.

This winner of the STEM Initiative category in this year's C2I awards has done exactly that, with the aim to encourage young people to use their imagination to ‘solve’ some of the planet’s problems, but also, crucially, to raise their awareness of the skills needed for a more climate conscious future.
