On 13 December 2024, our Year 12 and 13 students enjoyed an inspiring festive trip to Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford for a Christmas lecture on Engineering and Manufacturing. Hosted by the Chelmsford Science and Engineering Society, the event provided a fascinating insight into the rapidly evolving world of technology and industry.
The lecture highlighted the intricate workings of supply chains and networks, revealing how precision and collaboration are essential in delivering goods and services. Students also explored cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future, including artificial intelligence and novel energy resources. These innovations promise to revolutionise the manufacturing industry, offering more efficient, sustainable, and creative ways to produce and distribute products.
The experience was both educational and engaging, sparking curiosity about STEM careers. Students left with a deeper understanding of how engineering and manufacturing intersect with global challenges such as sustainability and energy efficiency. This trip reminded us of the power of innovation to create a brighter, greener future – and perhaps inspired the next generation of engineers and inventors among us!
