YASS - The Only Way is Up (to University)
YASS - the Young Applicants in Schools Scheme - is a fabulous series of Open University courses designed to give age 16+ students an early taste of university, and bridge the gap between school and higher education.
The course assumes no prior knowledge in the subject area or the wider sciences, but students must have good written English and baseline maths skills. If the UK is ever to become a leader in biofuels or plant-derived plastics, or become the 'Saudi Arabia of wind and wave power', we need more young people tackling the challenges of a post-oil world.
There are two slots for Living without oil, the first starting 18th Feb, and the second on the 12th May. If you, or anyone you know, wants to get an early head-start on this fascinating, and vitally important, subject, register via the YASS course page.
To get those budding post-oil scientists and policymakers started, here's a little inspiration.
