Description:

On October 30 at 17:00 CET, the STEM Alliance, Scientix and Trane Technologies organized the webinar "Where STEM Education and Building a Sustainable World come together."

Climate change. Global warming. Greenhouse gases. Sustainability. Students hear words like this all the time, but what do they actually mean? Young people understand that these things are important, but what can they do about it? What can they learn from the people and companies who are making a difference all over the world, pairing big goals with bold actions? Can they become agents of change?

Trane Technologies' webinar focuses on two crucial themes: Food waste and Food insecurity. They equip educators with valuable resources and teaching materials to engage students effectively in these critical topics, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and solutions.

Moreover, Trane Technologies' professionals highlight some job profiles that are making an impact every day using their STEM education to "build a more sustainable world".

At the end of the live event there will be a Q&A session for educators to address their questions to Trane Technologies professionals.
