The Enchanted Engineering project, led by Aberdeen Science Centre in partnership with Robert Gordon University, aims to empower young people to solve real-world engineering challenges, introduced to them by professional engineers through creative storytelling.
The experienced team will lead a two-day Public Engagement Skills Academy for 20 engineers, where they will be supported to develop five engineering activities aimed at children aged 7-14. Prompts for the challenges will draw on well-known fairytales but the challenges themselves will relate to real-life engineering inspired by the work and career paths of the engineers.
