Help us make Neon inspiring for teachers by submitting all your brilliant engineering careers activities to be featured as experiences. Neon gives you a shop window and lets you target your audience, all free of charge.
We want STEM teachers and their students to enjoy the very best engineering experiences, so we only feature experiences that meet our quality criteria.
Experiences that meet Neon quality standards:
Experiences vary but they must all include an engineering element and help students understand more about careers in engineering.
Here’s an overview of the different types of experiences we feature on Neon:
Workshops: Practical activity sessions (one-off or a series)
Speakers: Visitors with inspiring stories to tell
Projects: Challenges where students research and display their findings on a specific topic
Competitions: Challenges with a time limit, a set of criteria for judging and a winning team or individual
Events: Fairs, festivals and exhibitions for learning away from the classroom
Trips: Inspiring visits for students to immerse themselves in engineering
Experiences can take place online, in schools or at other venues.
Neon connects schools to experiences in their local area, ensuring that teachers can find experiences that are right for their students.
As a contributor you can say where your experience is available and which schools can see it. This can range from a specific postcode to a town, local authority, region or the whole of the UK.
You can also target your experience exclusively at schools with the highest proportion of young people from groups who are underrepresented in the engineering profession. Find out more
