What do gas pumps, food labels, and construction materials all have in common? Standards! And on March 13th, students at the University of The Bahamas (UB) got a front-row seat to see just how vital those standards are in their everyday lives—thanks to an interactive campus activation led by the Bahamas Bureau of Standards and Quality (BBSQ).
As part of its ongoing public awareness and youth engagement efforts, BBSQ set up an informational booth at the University’s Science Fair on campus to give students a real-world look at how quality assurance, legal metrology, and compliance are helping to build a safer, smarter, and more competitive Bahamas.
Throughout the day, students explored the essential role standards play in protecting consumers, guiding businesses, and shaping national progress. With direct applications across industries like health, food safety, engineering, and technology, students quickly realized that standards aren’t just technical—they’re transformative.
Here’s what they discovered:
Live Demos: Students got hands-on with measurement tools and compliance practices.
Career Talks: BBSQ experts shared how quality assurance offers exciting career paths in sectors ranging from environmental science to supply chain management.
Interactive Q&A: Students asked insightful questions—like how to implement standards in start-ups, and how ISO certification can boost business growth.
UB students walked away with a deeper understanding of the importance of standards—and how they can become champions of quality in their own fields.
