The year-long campaign is designed to encourage young people (aged 7-16 years), their parents and teachers to take a closer look at engineering. The campaign hopes to demonstrate that engineering careers are varied, creative and innovative, with many different routes into the profession.
To mark the launch of the campaign, Shell announced a second £1million investment in Tomorrow’s Engineers Energy Quest, giving an additional 80,000 school children hands-on engineering experiences and careers information over the next three years. And throughout 2018 we will be joining forces with the UK Government and hundreds of other partners to provide activities and programmes to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem solvers.
