This March, the industry will gather at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London, for the inaugural Engineering Matters Awards. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be introducing all of the shortlisted entries.
The Awards will demonstrate why engineering matters. We’ll be sharing some exciting innovations. And we will be looking at a range of ways engineers and those in related fields can have a wider impact on the world.
In this third episode, we are looking at the community category. We’ll find out how engineers working on one of the world’s biggest transport projects, turned their skills to helping vulnerable youngsters. We’ll hear how a new space port is trying to promote re-skilling for this new industry. We’ll learn how off grid technology is giving time back to women in displaced communities. And we’ll see how a rocket is helping launch children’s careers in space.
Guests
Issy Greenfield, social value and legacy manager, EKFB
Bryden Priest, community projects officer, SaxaVord Spaceport
Nav Sawhney, founder, The Washing Machine Project
Matthew Archer, director of launch, UK Space Agency
