Engineering and Arts Exploration

On Saturday 24th August 2024, local engineer, Alisha Bell is running an event celebrating Keighley’s manufacturing industry and inspiring the next generation of local engineers.

The workshop will include lots of activities designed for primary school age children but the event is very inclusive and everyone is welcome to join in the fun.

The team from Toy Lab Works will be back (you may remember them from our I Am Brill workshops), offering children the chance to break down old toys to create new and unique ones and a range of kids’ engineering games and activities will available.

This event will include a curated exhibition of work from local artists that have been commissioned to reimagine engineering and inspire local people, particularly the younger generation and women.
