Workshop
An annual celebration to inspire young people with modern engineering and technology, spark ideas and explore how they could tackle local and global challenges in their future careers.
Interested in helping young people discover their passions and explore future career paths?
Get ready for the 12th annual Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, taking place from the 11 to 15 of November! The annual celebration shines a spotlight on engineers and technicians, showcasing the variety of engineering careers available to young people. The 2024 theme, Power up your passion, aims to help students aged 11 to 14 discover their passions, and learn how to align them with a career in engineering and technology.
Register now and explore a variety of free resources to help students learn how their interests and passions can translate into a career in engineering. The week kicks off with an assembly, followed by a 'Day in the life’ film series, offering behind-the-scenes insights from real-world engineers across diverse career pathways. These films are supported by a lesson plan designed to ignite students' passions and guide them towards future STEM careers.
Additionally, the ‘Match your passion’ panel, featuring early-career engineers and technicians as well as experts from a variety of sectors, will provide valuable guidance and expertise throughout the week. When registering for Tomorrow’s Engineers Week 2024, you will have the opportunity to submit any questions about the industry, roles and opportunities.
