Inspiring the Next Generation of Scientists with Henkel
Inspiring the Next Generation of Scientists with Henkel
We delivered our Industrial Cadets Challenger Experience Days to nearly 1000 students across the UK during year one of our partnership with Henkel. Our Challenger Experience Days offer a fun, hands-on introduction to STEM, designed to inspire young people and showcase the exciting career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and maths.
We worked with Henkel to roll out its international education initiative, Forscherwelt across the UK, which empowered children aged 8 to 11 to experience hands-on experiments related to Henkel's core areas, such as adhesives, washing and cleaning, cosmetics, and sustainability. Students gained a comprehensive understanding of science's role in everyday life.
