This event is where we join forces with organisations across the UK to showcase engineering and technology behind the scenes to children and their families, giving them the chance to discover first-hand the range of incredible careers out there – all in the hope to inspire more young people to pursue STEM in the future. Whether children are into sports, music, fashion, flying, healthcare, or improving our climate, we want children – and their parents – to understand that there is a place in engineering and technology for them.

So to give as many families and schools the opportunity to attend, we’re now holding activities over the course of an entire WEEK – hence the name change to 'Engineering Open House Week', and we would absolutely love to have your company on board this year to inspire the engineers of tomorrow.

Taking place from 12-18 June 2023, you can decide which day(s) you want to hold your activity, tour, workshop, talk etc. and we have a brilliant team on hand to help plan and market your event, so collectively we can reach as many people as possible.

If your company is interested in getting involved (and we hope they are), please email openhouse@theiet.org saying you’re in!

And if you've got ideas on which companies you would love to see take part (and any in-roads you can help us make with them if you have contacts!) - please comment them below. The more, the merrier!

We look forward to hearing from you.

  • I've been 'behind the scenes' in quite a few places but my personal geek out moment was being at the BBC and being in the room that houses the entire music collection for BBC radio! 

    However, there are lots of other places I'd just love to see the inside of Blush Pinewood Studios for example....  Maybe the 007 stage Wink ? #justsaying Joy
