inGenious has been on the road filming scenarios for a video that aims to inspire pupils all over the European Union to think deeply about the value of STEM studies. Called Ignite Your Future, the video covers three inspirational STEM scenarios that link exciting STEM achievements to school lessons and real careers.

For the first scenario on fuel efficiency we filmed girls and boys from Gertrudis college secondary school in the Netherlands as they worked on an eco-car for the Shell Eco Marathon. In the marathon, the team is exposed to technology, teamwork and innovation in a unique way. We also filmed real engineers tackling fuel efficiency at Shell’s colourful plant in Amsterdam.

Our second scenario explores the world of 3D projection and imaging and was filmed in the UK. We worked with technology provider Acer, Gaia Technologies, Shelfield Community Academy, Blackburn Rovers Football Club and Darwen Vale High School. A boy is inspired by the way technology is used to simulate muscle movement in our bodies.

Later this month, we will be filming our third scenario on a wind farm and exploring the science around wind turbine coatings and testing with support from BASF and the German industry association, Wissensfabrik.

Take a look at our film crew at work. Ignite Your Future, will be ready for classroom screenings by the summer.

4RosesEco, the team from Gertrudiscollege secondary school are the only school to compete in the Shell Eco Marathon. All other competitors are from universities and colleges. Their workshop is a place for collaboration, learning, fun and inspiration, with a connection to a very real-world end result through their involvement in the Eco Marathon.	The dynamic of the 4RosesEco team is one of absolute engagement, experience, and practical based learning. Their goal is to reach the 200km distance mark on a single litre of the Shell GTL fuel.
