Events and activities to inspire the next generation of engineers
Cambridge University Science Festival
Over 1000 visitors visited the IfM on Saturday 24 March 2012 as part of the university's annual Science Festival. The visitors enjoyed a host of demos, hands on activities and talks. The IfM has taken part in the Science Festival since 2010.
Each year the IfM hosts a visit by school children from the specialist engineering college Chelmer Valley High School, Chelmsford. In July 2012 the party of 14 and 15-year-olds learnt about 'just-in-time' manufacturing, took part in a crane construction challenge and enjoyed a punting trip on the Cam.
