The five branches around Scotland offer a variety of initiatives promoting civil engineering to school pupils of different ages.
In this section you can find details of each initiative, how to request a visit if you are a school and how to volunteer your help if you are an engineer.
The main activities offered are Bridges to Schools, Rapid Response Engineering Challenge and the Westpoint Bridge Design Competition. Availability of these intiatives varies across Scotland according to the volunteers available locally to provide the resource necessary to take the schemes to schools. If you are a teacher looking to request an activity, please contact the ICE Scotland Office (details on the right) to be put in touch with your local volunteer coordinators.
Volunteering
If you wish to volunteer to help at a Schools event, the first thing you should do is register as a STEM Ambassador. This is free and simple to do, and the initial application can be made online. Follow the Ambassadors link in the menu to find your local STEM Ambassador administrators and more information about the Ambassadors programme.
