That\u2019s a wrap on the 2023 events season! This academic year has been a real blast and we have had so much fun celebrating the power of engineering across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we were back again at the Royal International Air Tattoo<\/a> with our National\u00a0Partner\u00a0Royal Air Force Charitable to\u00a0host the Inspire Stage and run a series of engineering\u00a0challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 200,000 people\u00a0attended the\u00a0event over the\u00a0weekend\u00a0and we welcomed\u00a0thousands of\u00a0young\u00a0people to celebrate the power of engineering.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Peake<\/a>, Dr Alice Bunn<\/a>, RAF Red Arrows, Saudi Hawks, the Department for Transport\u00a0Young Aviation Ambassadors<\/a>, Great Scott! Productions and Science Made Simple all took\u00a0the stage to engage our audience and show them the exciting possibilities of a career in\u00a0engineering and aviation.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Princess of Wales, Catherine, visited the Techno Zone on the Friday too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our engineering activities were a huge hit with visitors receiving Mission Badges for\u00a0completing a series of challenges. On the display were a variety of prototypes, The\u00a0Shimmy\u00a0Shimmy\u00a0Shower and The Solar Powered Train, both created by The University of\u00a0Edinburgh\u00a0and The Plant Pot<\/a> created by our National Partner Thales. Behind each\u00a0prototype was a heart-warming story of a pupil who had entered the competition and had\u00a0their idea turned into reality.\u00a0A perfect example of how pupils can inspire engineers!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u00a0were joined by volunteers from The School of Engineering, The University of Edinburgh<\/a>,\u00a0Thales UK<\/a>, DXC Technology<\/a> and The Boeing Company<\/a> who all helped us run these activities and inspire young people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was absolutely fantastic to see a few of our partners<\/a> exhibiting stands in the Techno Zone too, Rolls-Royce<\/a>, GKN Aerospace<\/a>, GE Aerospace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
