All About STEM: Book now for Engineering Your Future Warrington!

We are back with the second of this year’s Engineering Your Future Events! You can now book onto our Warrington event taking place on Friday 25th November at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington.

What is Engineering Your Future?

Now in its sixteenth year in London and its tenth year here in the North West, Engineering Your Future has become a key date in the diary of North West Secondary Schools and Sixth Form Colleges. This series of one-day career events has been established to provide an opportunity for attendees to see that engineering is a career worth pursuing, and help them make an informed choice. It is jointly coordinated and sponsored by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, The Nuclear Institute and the British Computer Society, and is fully supported by STEM Learning and the Northwest STEM Centres.

Engineering Your Future Event
Halliwell Jones Stadium, Mike Gregory Way, Warrington, WA2 7NE
Friday 25th November, 9am – 3pm

IMPORTANT: Sixth Form students can attend independently or with staff  (school consent & communication required).

Who should attend?

This informative and hands-on event is ideally aimed at 16-18 year old students who are studying science, maths or engineering at GNVQ or A-Level, to attend together with their STEM subject teachers.

What happens on the day?

The day is split into 5 workshop sessions providing insights into areas such as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical/Electronic, Chemical or Nuclear Engineering; each of which lasts approximately 40 minutes. Attendees will be split into five groups and each group allocated a mentor Engineer for the day.

They will learn about different areas & aspects of engineering from the companies and organisations invited, along with a marketplace session offering more information on ‘Routes into Engineering’. The workshop sessions are designed to be practical and interactive and provide an insight into life as a professional Engineer or Technician.

There will also be opportunity for teachers to chat & network with All About STEM staff regarding our work with schools, teachers and business.

Benefits of Attendance

Students and teachers will benefit by increasing their awareness of the very broad scope offered by a career in engineering; the various routes into engineering; what they can expect and what it entails. All the presenters will be qualified and experienced Engineers and Technicians.

We are initially limiting places to 5 students per school/college to ensure as many institutions as possible are able to be a part of the event. There will be a charge of £5 per student, which includes lunch on the day.
