Running an Engineering Open House event
Engineering Open House events are a great opportunity for venues, businesses and organisations to open their doors to young people, caregivers, schools and teachers to showcase the exciting world of engineering behind-the-scenes.
Our Engineering Open House toolkit and assets are designed to support you with setting up and promoting exclusive behind-the-scenes events to help you highlight the important roles that engineers play in everyday life and demonstrate first-hand the creativity and excitement behind engineering careers. Here you’ll find everything you need to organise your Open House event for families and/or schools in your local community.
Engineers bring ideas to life, turn dreams into reality and make solutions to big challenges possible. They design, invent, fix and improve and they are changing our world for the better.
Whether young people are into sports, music, fashion, flying, healthcare, or improving our climate, there’s a place in engineering and technology for them and with your help, we want to show them just how diverse and incredible the world of STEM really is.
