- Are mainly aimed 11 to 14-year-olds
- Show what young people can achieve by studying maths and physics
- Tell you about the huge range of careers available in engineering
- Explain the different ways to get an engineering career

Need help planning your lessons? Thinking about visiting a school?
We have a range of resources for teachers and those wanting to visit schools that help explain the role of civil engineering and inspire young learners.
Bridge to Schools
ICE visits schools across Wales to give young people the chance to build miniature version of the Second Severn Crossing.
Using our model cable-stayed bridges, children experience bridge building at first-hand, while wearing hard hats, high-vis vests, gloves and goggles. After the bridges have been built, each child gets the chance to walk across and test their engineering skills.
The activity is mainly aimed at primary schools, but we can also arrange visits to secondary schools. Each bridge-building session is presented by an engineer, with support from ICE 'construction ambassadors'. Bridge to Schools is organised in partnership with ConstructionSkills Wales, Careers Wales and Mid Glamorgan Education Business Partnership.
To find out more or to arrange a visit to your school, please download the Bridge to Schools leaflet.
Engineering Team Challenge
This is an engineering competition for secondary school pupils. The aim of the scheme is to encourage Year 9 (14 year old) students in South Wales to consider a career in engineering.
It's run by the ICE Wales Cymru Graduates and Students Committee, with sponsorship from local engineering companies. The scheme is run in conjunction with Tomorrow's Engineers Week.
North Wales Team Challenge
This activity promotes engineering, construction, manufacturing and technology careers for students aged over 16. ICE Wales Cymru North Wales Branch helps organise the event.
