Over the last week, students and engineers have been engaging online in I’m an Engineer, Get me out of here. Together they’ve talked about everything from how to get into apprenticeships, to the economic benefits of engineering, to developing code for satellites and even tips on how to keep bearded dragons (beardies) as pets and what everyone’s favourite moon of Jupiter is (we’ve all got one). This November, there’s a Space Zone, supported by the UK Space Agency and Millisecond Zone, a general zone featuring engineers from a range of areas and disciplines. See all the engineers and schools taking part in the event here. In total, in the first week there’s been: 553 school students logging in to the zones 451 questions asked by students sent to the 12 engineers 321 votes cast by students for their favourites (almost) uncountable levels of conversation in the 15 live chats that have taken place. If all this has got you … Continue reading →
