The workshops are half-day events using equipment funded by the IET. Careers fairs and 'big bang' events (science/technology fairs) involve running a stand where students can make their own LED torch (provided by the IET). We also provide IET literature about engineering and routes into engineering.
If anyone would like to help with future schools events then please contact either Gavin Barker or Ramon Tumbos.
