During 2000, 2004 & 2005 Industry Forum held three
events (attended by over 2000 young people and in excess of 200 teachers) aimed at raising the awareness of 12-14 year olds about Engineering education and its associated careers. Without effective information, advice and education in Years 8 & 9 people will be ill-prepared to take full advantage of vocational options such as GCSEs in Applied Science and Engineering

Over the two days there were in excess of 800 young people and their teachers. A number of senior people from industry (Toyota, Jaguar, Automotive Academy & SMMT Industry Forum) also came to see the show. A number were heard to say “The best I have seen.”

Having heard about the event, workers from Jaguar's production line also came along to see the show

The Youth Engineering Summit aims to raise awareness of the sheer range and excitement from careers in Engineering. Around 60% of the young audience had not considered a career in Engineering prior to attending the Youth Engineering Summit. By the end of the event half of these young people had changed their minds!! The Industry Forum Engineers enjoy a well earned celebration drink after the last show. ASIMO looks on bemused at the enjoyment gained from a small amount of fizzy liquid!
