The event which was organised by North East STEM Hub and delivered by RTC North allowed 100 schools to meet and engage with businesses in person, exposing them to a range of career and job roles available in our region now and in the future.
Businesses delivered fun, interactive and hands on sessions relating to their industry, specifically in response to Climate Change and their plans to reach Net Zero by 2030.
Over 3,000 young people from the regions schools attended the event where they could engage, ask questions and experience different activities.
There were also 1800-2000 trees given away to plant thanks to Forestry Commission.
Through five themed zones, more than 50 North East organisations leading the way in sustainability provided interactive opportunities for nine to thirteen-year-olds to learn more about climate adaptation, business and industry, buildings and construction, transport, and power and natural resources.
