• This Polish language teaching resource explains the work of Dr Nicolas Boscher and his team at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology who are using chemical engineering techniques – and taking inspiration from photosynthesis occurring in plants – to develop new polymers with the ability to produce hydrogen in a clean way.
• This resource also contains interviews with the team. If you or your students have a question for them, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. The team will reply!
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Nicolas’ research, and challenges them to create
their own multi-disciplinary ‘research team’ to tackle a global
problem!

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
