Engineering Tomorrow is an initiative aimed at schools in areas of deprivation to build awareness around STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects for young people. This gives young people an opportunity to sample Engineering through fun experiments and trying different technologies such as 3D printing, wind tunnels, robotics and aero dynamics.
The pupils worked in groups to solve problems such as
- Using a 3D Printer to make a puzzle.
- Using a robot and programming it to navigate a course.
- Building a bridge and testing how much stress it could take.
The pupils had a great day and enjoyed finding out about different areas of STEM subjects and different options for future careers.
