Why take part

Tomorrow’s Engineers Week is approaching its 14th year and has become a staple in many schools’ calendars. 

The theme for 2025 was Dare to discover. It showed young people that it's fine to not to get things right first time! Experiments not going to plan are learning opportunities! Projects which don’t work quite as expected aren't the end of the world! Trial and error is at the heart of engineering and technology and something young people should learn to lean into.

Tomorrow's Engineers Week 2025 helped students become robust and adaptable problem-solvers.
