Shape the Future is a campaign to raise awareness of engineering and technology as a stimulating career option and an essential and exciting part of modern Britain. It will start young people on a journey, making connections between the issues they face and the solutions engineering and technology can provide.  And, to help them on their way, it will signpost opportunities for them to do one more thing – such as joining a Young Engineers club at their school or another similar initiative, participating in a classroom discussion or logging onto a website for more information.

Access Fund

Shape the Future is a campaign to help organise the promotion of engineering and technology in schools. As part of this campaign, Shape the Future has created a Shape the Future directory and an Access Fund linked to it. Administered by an independent steering committee, the Access Fund has been set up to make small grants to schools wanting to get involved with the activities for the first time that otherwise would be excluded on the grounds of cost alone. To obtain a copy of the Shape the Future directory and the Access Fund application details contact shapethefuture@raeng.org.uk
