About Engineer your future
In Engineer your future, academics at the department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Sheffield developed a series of technical activities, culminating in an annual weeklong taster course in electronics for 17-year-olds from surrounding state schools.
The project was in partnership with Work-wise Foundation, a Yorkshire based not-for-profit organisation focused on the development of STEM skills in young people from all backgrounds. The partnership also featured the EDT, local teachers, and industry professionals.
The workshop included visits to local industry with a final competition based on an FM surveillance transmitter that participants made to take home with them. Activities for schools and teachers continued beyond the workshop, including opportunities for mentorship with both academia and industry.
