Join @DiscovMaterials and find out more about the exciting possibilities in materials science and engineering at The #BigBangFair!
Explore amazing surfaces found in nature through microscopes and discover what inventions they have inspired: thebigbang.org.uk/the-big-ba…
We are excited to have been awarded an #IngeniousAward from @RAEngNews to train up Engineers to go into school and work with 11-14 year olds to develop an illustration and videos to showcase the exciting field of #MaterialsScienceandEngineering to their peers.
We are so excited to get this project up and running and to inspire the next generation of #MaterialsEngineers
How do we inspire the next generation of materials engineers?
We're funding this @unibirmingham led project, which is upskilling early-career engineers and leaving a legacy of public engagement and reusable teaching materials.

ALT Four individuals posing in front of a large banner displaying the text: materials science. A project, led by the University of Birmingham, upskilling early career engineers from the Discover Materials Ambassador network in digital and visual communication to inspire the next generation of materials engineers.
We've got loads coming up in this term - check out our new newsletter to find out what we have planned, learn about some great resources our ambassadors have made and what this microscope image is of (courtesy of @zeiss_micro) by following this link: tinyurl.com/yjy3pw56
