Why?
I’m an Engineer was originally funded through an Ingenious Award from the Royal Academy of Engineering. We are applying to a number of organisations for further funding. However to keep the event going we will need to gain additional funding from industry and academia.
Feedback from engineers who’ve spoken about how much they got from participating:
âExplaining engineering to the teenage laity brings out knowledge I never knew I had!â Andy Hearn, Thales
âItâs been the best thing Iâve ever done with schoolkidsâ Jed Ramsay, Environment Agency
Students told us how it inspired their interest in engineering:
âI loved being able to ask questions and thoroughly enjoyed taking part in ‘I’m a engineer’. I would have loved to ask questions to engineers in other zones though as I read a few profiles and some of them had very interesting jobs that I would have loved to have learnt more aboutâ – Student, March 2012
âi loved this event as now im more aware of what engineers do …..i now want to be an engineer when i grow up” – Student, March 2012
Your funding will allow us to create extra zones specific to your area of engineering. It will allow more engineers from your company or sector to benefit and to open the eyes of more students to what you do.
