Co-op Academies Trust - Inspiring the children of today to be the STEM leaders of tomorrow
From presentations to informational videos, HUB turned students' attention towards climate change.
Co-op Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust supporting schools across the North of England. Sponsored by the Co-op Group, the trust encourages pupils to care about community and think outside the box of academia.
The Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) asked Co-op Academies Trust to create a set of resources that would:
- Increase pupils’ understanding of environmental, social and economic challenges.
- Teach them about renewable energy.
- Inspire them to take a key STEM subject at GCSE.
- Inform them of the career prospects linked to each subject.
Co-op Academies Trust knew the facts that would spark inspiration in 11-14-year-olds; what they didn’t know was how to bring this information to life.
Enter HUB.
This was the first project of its kind for Co-op Academies Trust – so we had only the brand guidelines to use as a reference.
This wasn’t a problem.
Having worked with us for four years already, our client knew HUB could be trusted with a dash of creative freedom.
Our creatives produced vibrant and attention-grabbing materials for each year group.
Our content team collaborated on scripts, storyboards and questionnaires for Q&As.
On location in Manchester, our photographers captured Belle Vue Academy whilst under construction and filmed inside Co-op Group’s impressive HQ.
It’s times like this when HUB’s integration thrives.
HUB's work covered several mediums:
- Several lessons each for Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils
- A unique slide deck for each lesson
- PDF teacher notes
- Handouts
- Videos from Co-op Power, Co-op Logistics, Sir Robert McAlpine, and Co-op Engineering
We created and produced:
- 6 videos
- 6 lesson plans
- 3 teacher briefs
- 3 presentations, totalling 78 individual slides
