Help young people discover how engineering impacts on the issues they care about, such as health and wellbeing, by encouraging schools to join the @Tomorrows_Eng @BigAssembly on 6 November #TEWeek19.
Had the best of days yesterday. A surprise round every corner for the kids and us bigger kids. It’s so well done, you’ll love it even if you don’t think you care much about trains. Get yourself to York quicker than Dick Turpin on the Flying Scotsman.

Are #STEM careers creative?
What could be more creative than movie making, robot building, city shaping, app designing or television broadcasting?
Whether it's fashion or films that excite you, engineering opens up huge creative doors: thisisengineering.org.uk #ThisisEngineering
