Tomorrow’s Engineers Week 2025 takes place from 10–14 November to inspire young people aged 11 to 14 to explore exciting careers in engineering and technology.
This year’s theme, “Dare to discover”, encourages students to embrace curiosity, experimentation and learning through trial and error, showing that engineering progress often comes from adapting and trying again.
What is Tomorrow’s Engineers Week?
Now in its 13th year, Tomorrow’s Engineers Week brings together schools, employers, and professional engineering institutions to inspire students by showcasing the exciting and diverse career paths within engineering.
Register now and be the first to hear about the free resources on offer throughout the week, including lesson plans, activities and real-world insights to help students see how discovery and perseverance can lead to meaningful and fulfilling careers.
Why is Tomorrow’s Engineers Week important?
The week-long celebration plays a crucial role in demonstrating how engineering and technology careers are not just about technical skills, but also about creativity, innovation, resilience, and critical thinking skills that can be used to solve real-world challenges.
It connects students’ passions with careers that can have a lasting impact, making it a pivotal moment to inspire and engage the next generation of trailblazers and future leaders.
How does this year’s theme, Dare to discover, connect with young people?
This year’s theme emphasises that engineering isn’t about getting everything right the first time – it’s about exploring, experimenting and daring to try again.
By showing that mistakes and setbacks are part of discovery, it challenges perceptions of what engineers do and makes clear that curiosity and creativity are at the heart of the profession.
What resources are available during Tomorrow’s Engineers Week 2025?
Teachers can register now and be the first to access the suite of free resources, including an engaging assembly, detailed lesson plans, a ‘Day in the life’ short film series, and activities to bring engineering to life in the classroom.
The film series provides an insightful look into the everyday work of early-career engineers across various industries. A brand-new stakeholder toolkit will also be available, designed to help employers and organisations inspire young people during the week.
How does Tomorrow’s Engineers Week support diversity in engineering?
By showcasing a diverse range of role models from various backgrounds, the content aims to challenge stereotypes and provides relatable success stories that encourage students from all walks of life to consider a future in engineering.
This focus on diversity is crucial, helping ensure that engineering is seen as inclusive, creative, and open to everyone.
How can teachers get involved?
Teachers can easily participate by registering online so they can access the free downloadable, flexible resources on offer throughout Tomorrow’s Engineers Week and integrating them into their lessons, during form time, in PSHE lessons or in school assemblies.
