If you’re keen to inspire the next generation of CEMEX employees, make sure to attend the free Science Communication training, being run by our partner, Cambridge Science Centre, next week. If you’ve previously supported with STEM workshops, or are interested in giving it a go, then don’t miss out!
This free training is open to all CEMEX employees irrespective of their location, and you don’t need to be a registered STEM ambassador to take part. It’s meant for anyone with an interest in sharing science with others, particularly schoolchildren. The purpose of the training is to demonstrate how to take a complex scientific message and make it accessible to a younger audience.
The Science Communication training will take place 10am–12pm on 29th July.
