Future Engineers

Future Engineers is part of the Government’s Year of Engineering and runs during October half term (27 October – 4 November) in the museum’s famous Great Hall. More than 40,000 people from across the region are expected to visit. Among headlining performers this year, is award-winning science presenter, author and rapper Jon Chase who returns for a second year, to treat audiences to live hip-hop that covers everything from steam to science and space travel. There will also be a host of other exciting activities for young people to explore, including the chance to design your own robot railway, to take part in pop-up science shows and to discover how signals work in our ‘Screwball Signals’ marble maze. New for 2018 is ‘Izzy’s Incredible Adventure’ – an interactive live show where the audience is invited to help Izzy reach for the stars, finding out how rockets, hot air balloons and hover crafts work. For the musically-minded, electronic dance music pioneer and creator of Sonic Pi, Sam Aaron, will be hosting hands-on coding workshops in the Great Hall. Future Engineers will also feature guest displays and pop-up exhibitions from the Science Museum (Our Lives in Data) and the Institution of Civil Engineering (Invisible Superheroes) as well as the chance to meet real engineers working on some of the UK’s biggest projects. A separate schools programme runs throughout November.
