Thinking Ahead
Take part in the TEDI-London engineering taster programme
Thinking Ahead is our online engineering taster programme, inviting you to learn more about the world of engineering and take part in a design challenge.
You could choose to work on this challenge independently or you could form a group with your friends (max 5 people).
WHEN
The programme will take place across two weeks, Monday 18 October – Friday 29 October 2021.
Week one: Think like an engineer | Monday 18 – Friday 22 October
At your own pace you will work through interactive theory content via our online learning platform (The Learning Tree). This will teach you all about the interdisciplinary aspects of engineering. This will be self-directed learning that you can do in your own time, around your existing schedule.
Week two: Create like an engineer | Monday 25 – Friday 29 October
You will put your new theoretical knowledge into practise and respond to a engineering challenge brief set by us, which will see you design and present a prototype.
HOW WILL I LEARN?
Thinking Ahead is an online programme. All workshops, resources and collaboration will happen via a dedicated Microsoft Teams group which you will be added to before the programme starts.
Throughout there will be drop-in sessions with the TEDI-London team and industry masterclasses to teach you more about the world of engineering and help you with the challenge!
HOW WILL I COMPLETE THE PROGRAMME?
At the end of the programme (Friday 29 October) you will submit your project in the form of a presentation. All projects will be reviewed and shortlisted by the TEDI-London team, and shortlisted projects will be invited to present their project to our panel of judges who will decide the winners of Thinking Ahead.
JUDGES?
Yes! There are prizes! Winners will receive an industry coaching session and professional references (from TEDI-London).
