"I've absolutely loved the day and definitely want to be an engineer when I grow up!" So says a 7-year-old boy who attended a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) event at a British company's headquarters last month.
The RS Group held the " Engineering a Better World" event for children of its employees and their families, and the kids were able to take part in activities such as designing mini wind turbines, building solid structures, and creating energy poppers, the Northamptonshire Times reports.
"It was a joy to see them genuinely inspired by the technologies," says the company's VP of education and social impact.
The event was also attended by OKdo, a global tech company, and kids' toy maker Brightbox.
"We're grateful to the partners Brightbox, Kids Invent Stuff, and STEMazing, who delivered workshops to help us achieve this," the company says in a press release.
"This event was a great opportunity for our employees to get their children involved and show them how fun STEM can be," adds the VP.
