Only 1 in 4 people in UK manufacturing are women. The Advanced Manufacturing Forum is tackling outdated perceptions & inspiring the next generation. Find out more bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #WomenInManufacturing #Engineering #Inclusion #ukmfg

Book your place next week for some great #inclusive #STEM Workshop👇

UPDATE: Donald Campbell’s record-breaking Bluebird K7 is set to run on Coniston Water again for the first time in almost 60 years after being fitted with a refurbished Bristol Siddeley/Rolls-Royce Orpheus 101 engine. To support the preservation and planned operation of the hydroplane, Babcock International Group has joined the team at the Ruskin Museum as engineering partner ahead of its planned run next year. Donald Campbell's iconic Bluebird K7, which set seven world water speed records between 1955 and 1967, was recovered from Coniston Water in 2001.

Rammed full today. 3 apprentice cohorts. 2365. Regs. Pat testing.

Arena Training Centre is 21 years old this january. I think that makes us established. 😀

@nixonelectrical Remember fitting one ?!

It just seems odd we that they manufactured consumer units made of timber.

Director GCHQ Anne Keast-Butler recently spoke at the #MathsSummit at the @ScienceMuseum, highlighting the important role mathematics plays in UK national security and her commitment to inspiring more women to consider careers in STEM.

Tell us if you've been inspired to take up an #apprenticeship because of @Bloodhound_LSR We've met some of you. Tell us if you have #NAW2024

RIP Felix 💔 You will be missed very much. Run free OTRB 🌈

@Monty_Electrics @StemShow It’s a tomorrow’s engineers thing. Just shows route from school to professional registration - if anyone wanted to.

If IET did a Q and A on social media.... What questions would you ask? I'm fishing for research here. I want to know what IET can do to help Electricians from start of their journey and beyond to make it all easier. If nothing was off the table what would you want?

Today is #NationalEngineeringDay. The UK is an engineering powerhouse, with the profession contributing an estimated £645bn to the economy each year. Comprising 729,000 firms, more than 8m people are part of the UK's engineering economy. (Royal Academy of Engineering) #UKmfg🇬🇧

@archeohistories Unfinished because there’s a crack in it. Visited in 1992. Hard to imagine that it was carved out of the rock with dolerite .

An aerial view of the 'Unfinished Obelisk' in the 3500-year-old granite quarry in Aswan, Egypt. The unfinished obelisk is nearly one-third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. This obelisk, which is 25m long today, if it had been finished by the ancient Egyptians, would be almost measured around 41.75m (137.0 ft) and would have weighed nearly 1,090 tonnes, a weight equal to about 200 African elephants. This obelisk was studied in detail by Reginald Engelbach in 1922. Its creation was ordered by Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC). This piece that was left unfinished due to the appearance of some fissures in the upper part of the obelisk, is very important as it shows us how the ancient Egyptians cut and removed the obelisks. 📷 : Credit to the Owner #archaeohistories

@The_Last_Hurdle You’re welcome !

Huge thanks @Camemburt so kind of you 😁

Skipping practice is going well - I feel like I am 6 years old again, just a very unfit version😆 it isn't pretty! A very big thank you to everyone who has supported me - I am up to £130 in donations so far which is awesome! A big shout out to Fred Harris Garage Doors for their very generous donation and to the shy folk who have donated annonymously and Gill Jakes who was brave enough to be visible ❤️. A special thanks to Magda at Wellbeing Chiropractic Health Centre who always takes care of my back and has sent some really good advice (after she stopped rolling her eyes at me) and of course my biggest cheer leader, Khalisee (age 9 - gong on 30) who is encouraging and mercilessly demanding. Just 3x more days to go until I start, beginning to think I might have been a bit bonkers, but hey ho - nothing ventured nothing gained and it is a very good cause if you want to read my why, then click through to the Giving Page, why not leave a small donation whilst you're there 😁fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/juless-gi…
