Abstract
It’s not every year, or even every decade, that an institution reaches such an incredible milestone, so to celebrate our 150th anniversary with the rest of the world, we’re broadcasting a one-hour magazine programme each day of our anniversary week, called the 150 Show.
We’ve invited difference makers from across the world to be guests on the show to talk about the incredible work they are doing to engineer a better world for us all.
From the music you listen to and the phone in your hand, to the clean water you drink and the innovations that are helping to restore our oceans, engineering and technology is at the heart of everything. Engineers bring ideas to life, turn dreams into reality and make solutions to big challenges possible.
So, whether you’re into sports, music, fashion, flying, healthcare, or improving our climate, we want young people to know that there’s a place in engineering and technology for them.
The current generation of young minds is like nothing the world has ever seen. Our young people are living through a global pandemic, the mounting effects of climate change, and fracturing social unrest. They are also the generation that came after digital natives – making them not only comfortable with emerging technology, but almost-immediately proficient.
Our show on inspiring GenZ looks at how engineers are changing our world for the better to show the next generation that if they want to make a difference in this world, they can do it through STEM. After all, the future is in their hands!
