We run this because we want to empower you [local young people] to do well in your future. We want to give something back to our local community.

We hope that offering you the experience to work with us hands-on will develop your skills, your character, and practical competencies in Engineering.

What I’m looking for most in an applicant is enthusiasm , energy and willingness to learn. Anything else can be learnt from there.

The Powerboat Workshop gave me the opportunity to try something totally different, and has inspired me to go into engineering.

At school, writing things down never stuck. I far prefer being able to do things, like knowing how the different parts fit together. It’s far easier to just do it than explain!

If I had any advice for someone considering the Powerboat Workshops I’d say ‘Just try it’. I really enjoyed it, & you learn a lot!
