Dare to Discover with Hilary Leevers & Maddie Dinwoodie
In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Hilary Leevers and Maddie Dinwoodie from Engineering UK to discuss the importance of engineering education and the upcoming Tomorrow's Engineers Week.
We explore the need for diversity in the engineering workforce, the significance of linking engineering to young people's passions, and the role of education in preparing students for future challenges, including climate change.
The conversation emphasises the importance of resilience, problem-solving skills, and the need to alleviate anxiety in students regarding their educational paths. Together, they unpack how teachers can use the free Tomorrow’s Engineers Week resources to help students see the real-world possibilities of engineering, connect their passions to meaningful careers, and celebrate the power of problem-solving.
Edufuturist host Ben Whitaker and Steve Hope chat to EngineeringUK Chief Executive Dr Hilary Leevers and Director of Engagement Programmes Maddie Dinwoodie about Tomorrow's Engineers Week and the importance of engineering education.
