It’s National Apprenticeship Week! 🎉
A reminder that talent grows in many ways. Our latest blog features #QEPrizeAmbassadors Emily and Mike — both of whom began their engineering journeys through apprenticeships. Their stories show there’s no single path into engineering.
The work of our #QEPrize2026 Laureates is transforming lives at a truly individual level. Our #QEPrizeAmbassadors explore how their breakthroughs in modern neural interfaces are restoring human function and reshaping the wider engineering landscape. 💫
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!🧬
Across engineering and beyond, women and girls are pushing boundaries, shaping breakthroughs, and inspiring the next generation of innovators. The future of engineering is brighter when everyone has the chance to lead, create, and discover.
Congratulations also to the 2026 design finalists Hafsa Tanveer Hassan and Laura Smith, who received Highly Commended Awards. #CreateTheTrophy #QEPrize2026
