Discover yourself why engineering is cool
Dare to dream, dare to build. Engineering isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to make the world a better place. Imagine this: you design a robot that assists in hospitals, a sustainable energy system for your neighbourhood, or even a spacecraft that explores new planets. The possibilities are endless – and they’re within your reach.
Join one of our programmes and discover how creative, challenging, and impactful a career in engineering can be. Whether you love technology, nature, or design – there’s a place for you.

Programmes for 6 – 18 year olds
We believe that young people should be empowered to make informed decisions about their future. Our tailor made workshops are a resource for teachers and careers advisers. The time spent with students is used to inform, enthuse and motivate all who attend. We also partner with engineering employers to give young people exposure to engineering careers, through work experience.
University programmes
We believe that the best way to attract the future diverse workforce is by engaging with them as early as possible. Engineering is vast and it is often difficult for young people to navigate. Your participation can offer them an insight into the business world. These range from participation in our workshops to offering work placements.
