“We don’t just think grass, we seagrass”

Daisy T, “We don’t just think grass, we seagrass”, sums up the amazing experience that year 12 students had during their enterprise day delivered by 21 Babcock representatives on Wednesday 6th March. The students were tasked with creating attachments for a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROUV) to help cultivate and populate the seagrass meadows in Plymouth Sound.

Alan Jenkins, Head of 6th Form was, “

Blown away by the level of scientific research coupled with our students ability to find creative solutions. We feel very lucky that Babcock invested so much time and human power in both designing and delivering this event for our students.

Emily Taylor, Higher Level Mechanical Apprentice, Babcock, stated

This was the best school event I have been involved with, where every student engaged positively with the task and challenge.

On the basis of this event we now have 17 students that are considering a career with Babcock and have the opportunity to visit the Dockyard in May.
