Cambridge Engineering Outreach supports participation in science, engineering and technology related events in the UK, particularly in the Cambridge area.

Cambridge Engineering Outreach aims to:

·     Introduce children and young people to the fun and excitement of Engineering in a university research environment;

·     Organise and support Engineering events which encourage currently underrepresented groups to apply to Higher Education;

·     Use teams of student and staff volunteers to help make Engineering, Higher Education in general, and the University of Cambridge in particular, accessible, to raise aspirations and to reduce gender/culture stereotypes;

·     Provide opportunities for CUED students and staff to help inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists while developing their own transferable skills;

·     Support the work of relevant local organisations such as Cambridge colleges, Cambridge Science Festival, Cambridge Admissions Office and Cambridge Museum of Technology

·     Provide an opportunity for students to develop their skills in communicating Engineering ideas to a non-specialist audience.

Typically, we offer tours of the Department to any school group that asks.  Hands-on activities are organised as part of events such as the Science Festival or programmes designed to widen the demographics of the University of Cambridge and Engineering in particular.
