In the Autumn term 15 year 4 students from Norton Primary Academy visited Sunderland for the annual ‘Bring it on’ event. Bring it on North East exhibition, is targeted at 9-14 years olds, and aims to raise the aspirations of North East youngsters and contribute to closing the engineering skills gap.

The students from NPA interacted with companies and engineers from FujiFilm, Jacobs, Siemens, Nissan and NHS to name a few. They took part in building challenges, discovered what the inside of a wind turbine looks like via VR, leant how robots make medicines and even got to drive a JCB!

The students were thoroughly engaged and had so much fun whilst learning all about the world of engineering.
