Three local Year 10 pupils visited UWE Engineering in July, for a week of Engineering experiences.
Starting off with a tour of campus and of the different labs in Engineering, the three keen young engineers then spent preceding days working with various technicians, getting hands on to:
- learn the basics of electronic and mechatronic engineering
- designing and making a keyring using UWE machinery
- think about redesigning their city in a digital world (Minecraft)
- test out a new Lidar scanner for Architecture and the Built Environment
- getting their first experiences in coding programming the humanoid robot ‘Pepper’
- code music on ‘Manhattan’ – the crowd-based composing software
Thank you for putting together such an amazing week; I had a fantastic time and learnt so much about the different aspects of Engineering. I hope this Work Experience runs next year as I am certain many students in the year below me would absolutely love it as well.

Thanks to all the UWE Engineering technicians who made the week such a great and varied experience for all the Year 10s!
