🌍✨ Celebrating World Youth Skills Day with a Spotlight on Science and Youth Empowerment! ✨🌍 On this World Youth Skills Day, we recognize the importance of equipping young people with the skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. The 2024 edition of the annual FLS Science Festival in Salt Lake City exemplifies this commitment. The event brought together 300 participants, including young children and their families, local clients, and volunteers, to foster a passion for science, engineering, and the mining industry. With 16 interactive workstations, activities ranged from drilling cupcake "deposits" to excavating fossilized shark teeth, providing hands-on learning experiences that sparked curiosity and discovery. Wendi Cooksey, Metallurgical Lab Manager at FLS, who played a pivotal role in leading the event said: “It is essential that we leverage our expertise to inspire young people and encourage exploration in science and engineering career paths. In this way, we can build the talent pipeline for future miners that are needed to drive the green transition of our societies”. At FLS, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. Join us in celebrating the bright minds of tomorrow!
