How could Circular Economy be implemented in your school?
Transition Year classes were invited to record a video answering the question “How could Circular Economy be implemented in your school?” to compete for the chance to win a visit to IMR’s Lab in Mullingar. IMR and CIRCULÉIRE are delighted to welcome back students to our Lab on the 10th of November. The winning class will interact with cutting-edge technology such as 3D printing, collaborative robots and artificial intelligence, meet role models working in manufacturing and STEM and take part in a circular economy challenge with circular economy experts!
