What we delivered
LAB-45, a three-beat Imagine, Invent, Impact programme built with Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust. Pupils explored real sustainability challenges in their communities, then developed and pitched their own inventions to win.
We ran 40 workshops across six schools near the Crossdykes and Cumberhead wind farms, from a pre-workshop film through to a celebration assembly. Teachers can find the pre-workshop session on the LAB 45 teacher page.

The impact
Around 1,100 S1 to S3 pupils across 40 sessions, roughly 300 pitches with 10 shortlisted, and all six school relationships still live, with schools asking for sessions again next year.
A showcase film is in edit and launches in September 2026.
I think that Scotland is leading the way and setting an example for other countries to reach Net Zero.
