‘I just wanted to let you know how much our students enjoyed the event today. I felt it was thoroughly planned and the exhibitors had the best stands and activities I’ve ever seen at the SSEW (and I’ve been a few times now!) I can only imagine what a massive undertaking the planning and running of it all is, but I felt it was a really valuable experience for our students.
Teacher, Filey School
“The students thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different aspects and careers for engineering by either taking part or interacting with staff from the various companies, colleges and universities involved. This was an excellent opportunity for students to discover different career paths available to them and the vast diversity that is encompassed by engineering.”
Teacher, Scalby School
‘Just wanted to express my thanks to you and your team today! It was incredible. The children (and staff!) at Braeburn came away buzzing, they were in complete awe and loved everything about the event. Everything was well organised and mapped out and timed perfectly. WE LOVED IT. I am truly grateful we got to attend such a wonderful event and know for certain we will be back next year! We just wish it was on for longer and over more days!!!’
