The UK’s subsea sector hopes to reap rewards from some of the young talent on show at an event in Aberdeen yesterday.
Fifty youngsters took part in the first UK-wide subsea Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Challenge final.
Led and organised by industry body Subsea UK and supported by the Smallpeice Trust, which encourages young people to develop an interest in Stem subjects, the contest saw five schools battle to build and test the best floating wind turbine.
