Creating Opportunities Through Engineering

The Engineering Trust works with schools, communities, volunteers and industry supporters to help more young people experience the possibilities of engineering.

Our projects remove barriers, build confidence and create memorable opportunities for young people to learn, participate and feel that engineering can be for them.
