ICE Ambassadors visit schools across the region to help young people learn about civil engineering. It aims to inspire the civil engineers of tomorrow by organising a range of challenging, exciting and practical activities.
- The Bridge to Schools programme gives young people first-hand experience of civil engineering, by getting them to construct a 12.5 metre cable-stayed bridge. If you're interested in getting the bridge to your school then please contact Jaime - [email protected]
- INPUT is a two-hour, paper-based activity where groups of students build their own truss bridge from paper tubes – and then test it to destruction!
- Rapid Response is a scenario based activity, which shows young people the contribution civil engineering makes to relief aid. Students work through a series of problem-solving tasks to provide disaster relief to a flood-stricken village.
Our Ambassadors also organise a range of other schools events - like careers days and presentations - to get young people interested in the profession and to inspire the next generation of civil engineers.
