This week I attended a Mechanical Engineering insight @ucl. It was an amazing experience. During my time I attended lectures, gave presentations, built a robot and won an award on Teamwork skills. I thank the education trust development for giving me the opportunity!
2/4 Space rockets? - no these are the 500 tonne steam generators that will make steam to power Hinkley Point C's huge turbines. They're ready for delivery - another big step for Britain's energy security. HPC is vital for #NetZero, Britain's largest environmental project🌍⚡️
An exciting day @sunderlanduni looking slightly in-depth at the engineering courses they offer aswell as using high tech such as 3D scanners and tensile strength testers, thank you for the opportunity!
Big Carl has made one of his biggest-ever lifts, picking up a 1,200-tonne section of our first reactor building.
This is modular construction on an epic scale and a key step before we lift the first dome into place.

16 years of loving @burrows_jenson xx My 🌈 boy who made me a Mam. After quite the journey, I’ve raised such a kind, courageous and determined young man who is following his dreams and I’m incredibly proud of him #MamMoment#Cringe#Happy16thBirthday
BUILT IN BRITAIN: The first ground run of Rolls-Royce’s new UltraFan® demonstrator - the world’s largest jet engine - will take place imminently. Last December, the engine was transferred to Rolls-Royce's £90 million Testbed 80 facility in Derby ahead of testing. #UKmfg🇬🇧
We’re excited to announce that testing of the F130 engines for the @usairforce B-52 fleets has now commenced at our outdoor test facility. We expect to deliver over 600 engines as part of the #B-52 modernization program. https://t.co/ADOII9SZXS
Last Friday we were delighted to host @michaelgove, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, to see our impressive technical facilities and talk with our students. (1/3)
On March 9th a group I was in was given a brief to make a STEM based game you can play. Our idea was Stemopoly. I was assigned the task of Engineering Lead and had to go all the stages of making the products we needed for the board game. Laser cutting, CAD designs and 3D printing
