Climate Kickstart Event Information
During November thirty students attended the Climate Kickstart Events in Croydon. Climate Kickstart Students took part in a range of wonderful workshops to explore future careers in sustainability and Green Skills. From creating balloon powered cars with Croydon College (pictured!), to designing fantastic sustainable gardens Red Kite Plants. Students learnt about careers in solar power from Solar Energy UK, about sustainability in construction from McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd, sustainable town planning from Buro Happold and they explored the many organisations that Bioregional work with to improve sustainability and heard about the famous BedZED housing development in Hackbridge.
A huge source of excitement was that all students at the Kingston event were able to explore and sit inside an electric car and learn about the huge advancements in this technology including ‘charging roads’, courtesy of the wonderful Joltify.These are just a few of the organisations we engaged with who took the time to inspire the next generation and talk about green career paths.
