Millennium Point Inspires Future Engineers at SciENGINEERING Showcase
Award-winning venue and charity, Millennium Point, welcomed over 1,000 local school children to explore the world of engineering at its free SciENGINEERING Showcase on 10 June. The event offered students an exciting day of hands-on workshops, live demonstrations, and inspiring talks from leaders in the engineering sector.
A host of leading organisations—including Thinktank, The Air League, Rolls Royce, British Army, Birmingham, BOM & BCU STEAMhouse —joined forces to deliver engaging activities and insights into careers in engineering. From structural design challenges to robotics and sustainable tech, students got a glimpse into the innovations shaping our future.
Abbie Vlahakis, CEO of Millennium Point, said:
“It is incredibly rewarding to open young minds to the possibilities within engineering. Events like SciENGINEERING are vital in showing students how they can shape the world through creativity, problem-solving, and innovation.”
The SciENGINEERING Showcase was part of Millennium Point’s annual Sci-series, designed to improve access to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) careers for young people across the West Midlands. This year’s event spotlighted roles such as civil engineers, robotics technicians, and environmental engineers through fun, interactive experiences.
With over £45 million invested in STEM education across the region, Millennium Point continues to empower the next generation of engineers and innovators.
