Terri’s Time Travelling Engineering Adventure is a creative collaboration between award-winning STEM theatre company One Tenth Human and the Association of Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK), supported by Z-arts, Manchester’s creative centre for children and families. The project will engage engineers and over 200 Year 6 pupils from inner-city Manchester schools through an immersive theatrical adventure.
Children will solve electrical engineering challenges alongside a time-travelling heroine, “Engineer Terri,” who will help them learn about resilience, problem-solving, and the value of their own ideas. Engineers will receive training in storytelling and video performance, creating lasting resources. The project aims to inspire diverse young engineers while maximising the reach and impact of underrepresented engineering role models.
