Project Nexus: Pioneering sustainable education for a greener tomorrow

Bringing sustainability education to life!

Accessible via Microsoft Teams, the Nexus app introduces 8 new sustainability pledges every Monday, detailing carbon savings and comprehensive information. Users stay updated on upcoming environmental days and track their progress on dynamic leaderboards, which highlight the top eco-champions among staff, students, and tutor groups.

As users accumulate points, they earn badges and progress through four levels, from Level 1 to the prestigious Level 4. Reaching Levels 2, 3, and 4 unlocks exciting prizes, motivating participants to continue their eco-friendly efforts.

Project Nexus makes sustainability education engaging and interactive, fostering a community of environmentally conscious individuals.
