STEM Untapped

Our episodes are always co-hosted by a teenager interested in learning more about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). We interview STEM role models, highlighting the experience of female, trans and non-binary folk in the sector, and our student interviewers get to ask the questions that matter most to them!

Engineering 101

March 05, 2024 • Episode 32

4th March is World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, and we’re publishing two blogs written by some engineering undergrads about their experience studying engineering. But after speaking with our Youth Advisory Board (a group of teens who we work with once a term), we realised that Engineering is a bit of a generic term. So we’re releasing this one off episode at the same time as the blogs to give you some ideas about the different types of engineering out there.

Thank you to Dr Dimitris Statharas for speaking to us about studying and working in engineering.
