SCHOOLS across Redditch are being invited to sign up for a free competition exploring the ‘future metaverse’ that will give them access to cutting-edge industry knowledge and the chance to win cash prizes.
Mission: Sustainability is a community programme led by Enzen, a global knowledge enterprise based in Solihull focused on making energy and water more accessible, affordable and sustainable for all.
Following three successful programmes in 2020, 2021 and 2022, Enzen is appealing for schools to take part in this year’s scheme, which begins in early March to coincide with British Science Week.
Partnering with Enzen is its group company and digital pioneers MX Reality, which specialises in producing Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality and Artificial Intelligence solutions for industry.
Sanjay Neogi, head of UK and Europe at Enzen, said: “As a global energy and water knowledge enterprise, Enzen is passionate about sharing its sustainability expertise with young people and giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents.
“Mission: Sustainability is an excellent opportunity for the next generation to apply digitalisation, ingenuity and awareness to understand how they can make the life essentials of energy and water more sustainable.”
Majid Al-Kader, CEO of MX Reality, said: “We’re delighted to join Enzen in its Mission: Sustainability programme. Engaging and inspiring young people about the potentials of digital technology to change society for the better is fundamental to what both our organisations do.
“We’re looking forward to seeing how pupils channel their enthusiasm for digital with their classroom knowledge to imagine the utilities of the future.”
To register for the programme, teachers should email [email protected] with their name, position, school, location and which Key Stage Challenge they’d like to take part in.
The deadline for registration is Friday 3 March 2023.
