North-east school launches STEM hub
by Danny McKay
The launch of a new science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) hub is aimed at encouraging pupils to take up careers with renewables.
Based at Peterhead Academy, the new hub aims to inspire youngsters.
Hywind Scotland partners Equinor and Masdar have teamed up with Aberdeenshire Council to create the Hub classroom which includes state-of-the-art renewables technology in a refurbished workshop.
Provost of Aberdeenshire Bill Howatson said: "Encouraging young people to build their careers using STEM subjects is vital to the local economy as we strive to support a growing renewable energy sector.
"It's also beneficial to the young people who will be given the opportunity to engage with this project by offering educational opportunities which are exciting, inspiring and relevant to the area."
