It has been a pleasure to be involved in the EngineeringUK teacher network. I have enjoyed talking to other teachers who have a passion for all things STEM whilst networking with others in careers, industry and so much more. It is pleasing that a group like this listens to teachers to help develop resources for other teachers to use in their schools.
