Abstract
For children, toys and imagination represent a world of possibilities and invention. For engineers and scientists, the possibilities and invention never end. They are proof that our toys and dreams today impact our innovations tomorrow.
The child who loved LEGO® now designs buildings. The child with the telescope is now an astronaut. And, the child who dreamed of being a magician is now an electronics engineer, changing the world through technology. #IETLookAtMeNow explores which toys and dreams our engineers had as children and how they’ve influenced what they’re doing now – sharing these great stories from around the world.
#IETLookAtMeNow celebrates these stories of generational influence and dreams – whether it be a toy you played with or a dream you had of a future career.
We’re calling for STEM professionals to come forward and tell your story, because we’d love to hear it and share it on the IET Education website https://education.theiet.org/campaigns/look-at-me-now/
If you’d like to get involved, contact us at ieteducation@theiet.org.
