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