Since its inception in 1989, the Engineering Education Scheme Wales (EESW) has been working tirelessly to show young people how valuable a career in engineering can be. EESW endeavors to bridge the gap between students and industry, which benefits young students and propels the Welsh economy towards a successful future.

With The Spectris Foundation’s continued partnership, the EESW are expanding the Sustainable Farming project, where traditional agricultural practices are blended with cutting-edge technology. Students collaboratively construct and code a digital greenhouse, fostering a deep appreciation for the role of technology in bolstering sustainability and efficiency. With a goal to engage a further 24 schools and a total of 700 young minds.

Furthermore, our grant will also facilitate the delivery of the First Lego League (FLL) activity, a global science and technology competition for teams of students, to encourage an interest in real world issues and develop key skills that are crucial for their future careers.
