      I didn’t think about it much until I was 16, then I did an engineering scheme where I solved a real life engineering problem!

      In a team of 4 with my teacher we had to find a way of stopping waste getting into a river. We disigend a filtration system that is still used today!

      I’d reccommend trying to get experience anywhere you can to see if you like it too!

      I didnt think about engineering till i started looking for a course that would let me do a bit of all the sciences.

      I think everyone should give it a go! there are loads of courses that you can take part in such as Inspire, Headstart and Smallpiece that let you experience engineering at a university.
