Students Inspired! Unilever Bright Future Inspire Showcase
On the 3rd of November 2022, All About STEM facilitated the Bright Future Inspire Showcase Event for regional schools to take part in the Unilever Bright Future Programme hosted by Unilever Port Sunlight.
Attending students were invited to choose a challenge and then take part in numerous hands-on Unilever activities which introduced them to processing, packaging, the environment and more!
Following their visit, students have the opportunity to design their own environmentally friendly/sustainable product and return for judging in March 2023 at the Unilever Bright Future Celebration & Awards Day.
Unilever employees & STEM Ambassadors hosted various Bright Future Workshops including: digital technology sessions, consumer technical insight, formulation, packaging & recycling, sustainable living & global packaging development.
“Unilever believe there has never been a better time to create a better future for our children; a world where everyone has enough food to eat and no child goes to bed hungry. Where every child lives to their fifth birthday and has the right to a happy childhood. Where every home has enough water to drink and to wash, cook and clean and where everybody can enjoy life today while protecting the planet for future generations.”
“Unilever Bright Future is a platform that helps unite and amplify the efforts of a growing community of people who believe it is possible to build a world where everyone lives well and lives sustainably. Who recognise we can only achieve this if we all work together to do small actions every day that make a real difference and who inspire others to join in making this the way everyone chooses to live.” [Unilever]
When students have completed the Bright Future Programme, they have the option to enter their projects in a range of competitions and register for a CREST Award.
All About STEM Managing Director Michelle Dow said, “As All About STEM, our mission is to facilitate events across the region that inspire STEM and engage students. We are so proud to support the Bright Future Programme for the seventh year and see so many young people learning about sustainability, product design and development and the amazing STEM careers available with Unilever. We can’t wait to see all of the awesome projects in March!”
“A big thank you to Unilever, along with the Bright Future Programme they support so many of our projects. They truly are a company dedicated to promoting and enriching STEM learning and we are happy to collaborate with them to encourage that, along with a better, sustainable future.”
