Anglo American is once again the headline sponsor of the three-day event which aims to help increase awareness of the wide-ranging opportunities in the local area.
Anglo American says its team is gearing up to bring its pioneering Woodsmith Project to life at Scarborough Science and Engineering Week next week as they aim to inspire the next generation of engineers in the local area.
Students will be able to try their hand at three interactive games, focussed on cyber security, soil science and engineering, with more activities and information also available on their stand, including geology, design and data science.
Into its 14th year, the event will again take place between Tuesday 10th and Thursday 12th October at the Scarborough Spa and will see over 2,750 local school and college students attend.
Richard Adams, Education Programme Specialist at Anglo American, said:
“We’re incredibly proud to be continuing our long-standing support for Scarborough Science and Engineering Week.
“It’s hugely important to us to inspire young people and show them the huge range of exciting apprenticeship and career opportunities available to them in this area, particularly here at Anglo American. Hopefully we can inspire some of them to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.”
The event is run by the Scarborough Business Ambassadors with support from North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership (NYBEP) and has attracted around 40,000 students since its inception.
Simon Bull from Scarborough Business Ambassadors said:
“We’re very excited to be hosting the 14th annual Scarborough Science and Engineering Week, which is set to be another fabulous event hosting over 2,750 local school students introducing them to a world of STEM careers,”
“We have to say a huge thank you to Anglo American for sponsoring this event since 2016, meaning we can deliver a more exciting show each year. We’re also blessed to receive support from Made Smarter and North Yorkshire Council.”
