Highlights of the programme include:
  •        A major exhibition at the Architecture Centre and then touring
  •        Programme of bridge-related walks/ferry tour, talks and debates
  •        Family activities and resources
  •        Design Challenge Day to encourage girls into engineering careers
  •        Schools resources

A key element of the programme is working with a group of engineer ‘expert volunteers’, who are all donating their time to the project in order to share their passion for engineering and encourage people to get involved.
