I’m an Engineer, Get me out of here is back! In November students at over 60 schools will be interacting with 22 engineers across 4 different zones.

Between 7th – 18th November school students will put the engineers through their paces in fast-paced live chats and probing questions on everything from motors, to diagnosis equipment and space.

For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter, @iaegmooh, and follow the hashtag, #IAEUK.

Let’s meet the engineers and schools taking part…
