Delivering Inspiring STEM Experiences with Mott Macdonald

We have partnered with Mott Macdonald for over a decade delivering a range of opportunities to help connect young people across the UK with exciting and engaging STEM experiences. The partnership delivers opportunities at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels across key regions of the country including Cambridge, London, Brighton and the Midlands.

The Bronze and Gold projects have sparked curiosity and provided a solid foundation in STEM concepts motivating students to explore these fields further. They have acquired essential engineering skills and enhanced their problem solving abilities, while also improving their teamwork and communications skills, which are crucial for success in any field. Students complete their projects by attended the Celebration Event at UCL where they had a chance to showcase their project and network with other teams, mentors and assessors.

Launched in 2021, the 'Finding Your Future' Work Experience is a mix of online learning and an in person work experience week at Mott Macdonald offices across the UK. Students have the opportunity to complete project based online modules with the benefit of in person mentorship from Mott mentors who oversee the students for the week long work experience.

Testimonial

“Mott Macdonald has worked with EDT and Industrial Cadets for over 10 years across a wide variety of programmes. We do a lot of work at the Industrial Cadets Silver Work Experience level and have helped over 500students over the past 3 years. With the Bronze and Gold Projects, I personally really like the opportunity to set the projects for the students and give them real world engineering problems to solve, it’s always great to see the innovative and fantastic ideas that they come back with. With Bronze Project it’s also really good to see the younger students that are keen on engineering and STEM subjects develop into other programmes that EDT offer and hopefully progress onwards into STEM careers.”
