STEM the Flow, to stop Source to Sea litter. Take part in this engineering-based design challenge where P6/7 - S3 students will research and develop ideas to either tackle litter already in the River Clyde or design ways to prevent it from entering watercourses. The programme will involve workshops and mentor sessions for students, led by industry professionals.
The challenge will be launched in October. Register to take part and book onto workshops.
