At Apollo, our mission to inspire the next generation of innovators continues to gather momentum as we bring STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to life for students of all ages.
This month, we’ve engaged with schools across Wales and Scotland, demonstrating how sustainability and innovation can coexist in business and engineering.
Exploring sustainability in Pembrokeshire
On Friday, Michelle Hitches, our Study Manager for Decarbonisation, visited students at Milford Haven and Pembroke Secondary Schools. Together, they explored the theme of “Recycle, Replace, and Restore,” challenging pupils to think like CEOs of sustainable companies.
The discussions were lively, with students presenting innovative ideas on how businesses can balance profitability with sustainability. Michelle shared, “Each group had such valid points—it’s inspiring to see how thoughtfully these young minds are approaching the future.”
Hands-on STEM activities at St Joseph's Primary
Meanwhile, in Aberdeen, Director, Ryan Menzies, alongside graduates Rebecca Strachan and Youssef Salem, hosted an interactive STEM workshop at St Joseph’s Primary School.
The activities ranged from generating Power from Potatoes to constructing a simplified spar buoy model. The pupils also got an exclusive look at the PALM QCS model, showcasing its potential for cleaner maritime energy solutions.
These hands-on experiments brought science and engineering concepts to life, engaging pupils and sparking their curiosity about future opportunities in STEM.
Our commitment to STEM education
At Apollo, we’re passionate about encouraging STEM because we believe that nurturing young talent today is essential for solving the challenges of tomorrow and driving innovation in a sustainable future.
Through every workshop and activity—whether it’s a university project on offshore wind or primary school experiments like the egg drop challenge—we aim to inspire the next generation to explore the possibilities within STEM careers.
By focusing on interactive, hands-on learning, we empower pupils to think creatively, tackle real-world problems, and imagine a brighter, more sustainable future.
