Neon: Engineering careers hub supports digital STEM experiences

Teachers must be supported to deliver STEM careers experiences that enthuse, engage and inspire, especially during the current pandemic. Dr Hilary Leevers looks at how a new online engineering careers resources hub can help

During the coronavirus crisis, a spotlight has been shone on the brilliant work of scientists, technicians and engineers responding to the needs of the nation. We have seen exceptional examples of engineering across essential services and infrastructure – from the design and delivery of thousands of ventilators to the building of NHS Nightingale field hospitals.

With this increased visibility, educators now have a golden opportunity to open young people’s eyes to engineering as a relevant, pervasive and exciting sector.
