🚨 PSA: Your future employees don’t know what “utilities” are!

Missed our latest episode? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We asked kids between 7 and 15 what they know about the utilities industry, and let’s just say… we’ve got some work to do!

The skills gap is real, folks, and if we want these kids to join the industry one day, we’ve got to start early. Like, really early.

Tune in to hear their hilarious (and slightly alarming) takes on utilities— https://open.spotify.com/episode/3vNm06gFUvzUNXLzuTo7qJ

We are so glad the children at Campion School enjoyed playing the Royal Air Force Youth Engagement Team disaster relief Minecraft module we created.

By utilising STEM principles, players navigate through challenging terrains, mapping out crucial information to strategise effective relief efforts.

05/07/2024

We are in the final few days of delivering our disaster relief module on behalf of the Royal Air Force Youth Engagement Team.

It has been great to see the children so engaged and utilising STEM principles while still having fun. In the game players assume the role of RAF disaster relief personnel sent to assist an earthquake-affected region. Encouraging the players to think strategically about relief efforts.

In the video below you can hear one of the students (Year 7) talking to Skewb Climate team mate Brendan about the shelter he has built in Minecraft.

13 schools down, 6 to go!!

It is a privilege to deliver our disaster relief module on behalf of the Royal Air Force Youth Engagement Team In this immersive experience, players step into the shoes of the Royal Air Force disaster relief members deployed to provide aid to an earthquake-stricken area. By utilising STEM principles, players navigate through challenging terrains, mapping out crucial information to strategise effective relief efforts.

"The best day ever!"

"I can't believe we were allowed to do something so cool in school!"

"I liked using Minecraft to show my friends what I could and help them."

"I liked building shelters with my team and talking about what we needed in it."

"Minecraft lessons are really fun. I'd like to learn more from Minecraft"

"The RAF help people in trouble. Minecraft taught me what they do from finding people who are hurt to building somewhere safe for them."

Thanks for the intro Northumbrian Water!

Great story of the impact of the innovation festival and how it brings different backgrounds and organisations together to innovate!

On the surface you might wonder what a bakery and an educational game development company have in common?

It turns out it’s kindness.

We are so proud of what this team have created.
