The Big Big Project in Tees Valley brought together students from various secondary schools to participate in a competition aimed at promoting clean energy careers. Mentored by local businesses, the students were challenged to design a 'Hydrogen SuperPlace', focusing on energy use, transport, infrastructure, and public behavior. Egglescliffe School emerged victorious in the competition, with students like Oliver and Imogen expressing newfound awareness of the opportunities within the clean energy sector. The project not only fostered creativity and problem-solving skills but also helped students build confidence, as noted by Imogen's positive experience with public speaking. Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen commended the students for their active role in shaping the future through innovative ideas. The initiative highlights the importance of providing young individuals with opportunities to tackle real-world challenges and contribute meaningfully to the clean energy transition.
