Virtual Bring It On 2020 is a new online programme of inspirational video content aimed at 9-14 year olds. The new videos aim to Educate, Inspire and Inform young people across the North East about the engineering opportunities available to them in the future.
Launching 3rd June, each episode showcases a different leading North East engineering company. The episodes are released weekly on this page of our website and will feature company’s engineers talking about their role and what the company produces. Students will have the opportunity to get to know these engineers; how did they get into engineering, what inspired them to become an engineer, what a day is like in their job, and even where they stand on things like McDonald's vs Burger King!
The shows uncover the real people behind North East engineering, showcasing the amazing things their companies are doing, right here, in our region. Providing students with an opportunity to picture their future selves at work.
Follow #BringItOnNE for weekly updates on new video releases.
The series is split across 5 exciting subsectors, showing the diverse range of engineering opportunities:
Subsea, Oil & Gas, Renewables, Energy
Civil, Structural, Construction
Automotive, Rail, Aerospace
Chemical, Biotech, Pharmaceutical
