I had such a great time putting together the content for the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering ‘Create the Trophy’ competition on TikTok and Instagram! From scripting to filming and editing, it was a fun challenge to capture the excitement of this competition in a way that would inspire young people to get involved. For those who don’t know, the competition is open to 14-24 year olds, giving them the chance to design the trophy for the QEPrize—the most prestigious engineering award out there. It’s an incredible opportunity for young creatives to make their mark. You can check it out- https://qeprize.org/trophy I really enjoyed the process of creating content that spoke directly to a younger audience while highlighting the prestige of the prize. If you’re looking for someone to help you bring your content to life with a mix of creativity and strategy, I’d love to chat!

Wind power is now the largest single source of electricity generation in the UK, establishing itself as a mainstream energy source. This growth wouldn't be possible without our #QEPrize2024 Laureates, Andrew Garrad and Henrik Stiesdal, who were responsible for revolutionary improvements in wind turbine technology.   In a recent interview with E T Magazine, Andrew Garrad discusses his distinguished career and the future of renewable energy. ♻

We were delighted to attend the Royal Academy of Engineering's Engineering Leaders Scholarship (ELS) networking and training event recently. Attendees got to learn more about us, our previous winners and our #CreateTheTrophy competition. There was also an opportunity for them to hear more about our QEPrize Ambassador Network which is our global community of early career engineers. https://buff.ly/4h6bUEm

It was fantastic to see some #QEPrizeAmbassadors attend yesterday's Leadership Lunch hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering to mark Black History Month. There was a fireside chat and Q&A with speakers: Academy Fellow Dr. Nelson Ogunshakin OBE and Virtue Igbokwuwe, Graduate Civil Engineer, Hounslow Highways.

Thanks to innovative materials and construction, "super shoes" have been engineered to help runners go quicker with less effort. With faster times, new records and extensive research to back up its successes it's hard not to be tempted to try them. 👟 Joining Roma Agrawal to unpack some of the most pressing questions surrounding the future of this fast footwear is Jared Ward OLY - Marathon Mindset, long distance runner, Olympian, and Brigham Young University professor and Wouter Hoogkamer, researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
