Exciting lineup for the 15th Anniversary edition of Scarborough Science and Engineering Week
More than 35 local, regional, and national employers and training and education organisations will be exhibiting at the Spa from October 8th to 10th 2024, which is sponsored by mining company Anglo American. Young people will engage in a wide variety of interactive activities to encourage them into further STEM learning and careers.
Since the inaugural event, it has attracted more than 42,000 students, inspiring a future workforce into skill-based careers covering science, design, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The 15th anniversary event will attract more than 3,500 young people aged from seven to 19, from schools across the coast and beyond.
There will be a public careers session on the evening of the opening day, Tuesday 8th from 5pm to 8pm. No booking is required and is for the general public, young people of all ages and parents/carers, as well as adults seeking to change careers. All are welcome.
A prestigious SSEW dinner on the Wednesday October 9th is open to any type of business. The dinner this year is sponsored by Made Smarter. For tickets, contact events@nybep.org.uk using the subject header SSEW2024.
The menu has been designed by Michelin-star chef Andrew Pern, and prepared and served by tutors and students from Scarborough TEC’s catering course, which has created three Michelin star chefs.
North Yorkshire Council is again providing transport for schools to take part and providing the Spa as the venue again, at no cost.
The celebration is supported by the North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership (NYBEP).
Several awards will be presented, including a memorial trophy in honour of Vaugn Bulmer, head of coach engineering at Plaxton, where the first engineering week was held.
