Bringing STEM to life for the engineers of tomorrow
Staff and students at WMG, University of Warwick, came together to celebrate Tomorrow’s Engineers Week by sharing their inspiring STEM experiences.
Running from 10 to 14 November, Tomorrow’s Engineers Week is an annual campaign bringing together the engineering community to challenge perceptions and highlight the breadth of careers available in the sector.
Organised by EngineeringUKLink opens in a new window, the week-long celebration aims to inspire young people by showcasing real-life stories from engineers and technicians. This year’s theme was “Dare to Discover.”
The WMG Outreach team worked alongside colleagues from the University’s School of Engineering, Social Inclusion and Widening Participation team, and Student Project teams — including Warwick Fighting Robots; Warwick Racing; Warwick Rail; Warwick Submarine; Warwick Moto; and Warwick Harvest — as well as JLR and Tata Motors, Waste2Race and Warwick Bearing.
Interacting with 550 children, the WMG Outreach team hosted a series of events to bring STEM and specifically engineering to life.
Events
- Working alongside University colleagues, WMG apprentices and Student Projects teams hosted a 3D-printing showcase for primary schools, demonstrating how the technology can be used to create affordable engineering solutions.
- Representatives from WMG Outreach and Warwick’s Student Projects teams delivered inspiring science workshops and career talks in both primary and secondary schools.
- A Warwick Student Project Team Showcase was held in the National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC), where children had the chance to explore the esteemed Waste2Race car and Warwick Moto superbike.
Shikha Anish Kumar from Warwick Moto explained: “We enjoy showing new technologies to young people to inspire them and share our passion. We put together a set of activities working as a team to showcase what our project is about and the engineering behind it.”
Marie Diebolt, WMG Outreach Project Officer, added: “The showcase was a unique opportunity for our students to share their passion with the next generation of engineers while delivering outreach activities.
“Local schoolchildren joined us for a series of fun, hands-on activities that brought real academic projects to life. They also had the chance to chat with our students, gaining first hand insight into their studies and exciting career plans.”
