Turbine Taskforce aims to equip engineers with creative public engagement skills to inspire the next generation, focusing on wind energy and sustainability. The project targets underrepresented groups in Scotland’s most deprived areas, engaging S1–S3 students and local communities through interactive, competition-based events at National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and community centres.
Activities promote creativity, teamwork, and awareness of the circular economy, encouraging early interest in engineering and renewable energy careers. The initiative also addresses diversity and skills shortages in the sector, offering long-term benefits for communities and the engineering workforce.
