Back for it’s 5th year the USC brings to life science challenges in an exciting competition for 9-14 year olds.
What’s it about?
The wasteful way we buy, use and dispose of clothes is having a huge impact on our environment but exciting innovations in science and technology are helping us move to a more sustainable future. In this year’s competition, students become real-world problem-solvers as they fix fashion for themselves and the planet.
Why should we enter?
- Help your students discover the science of materials, climate and sustainability
- Be intrigued and inspired by real-world case studies showcasing incredible scientific and technological innovations
- Students become problem-solvers as they come up with their own creative vision for how to ‘fix fashion for the future’
- Win amazing prizes for your school and students
