I’m an Engineer, Get me out of here! is back this March. Between the 4th and the 15th, students at eight schools will be putting their questions to six engineers in the Energy Zone.
For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter @IAEGMOOH, and follow the hashtag, #IAEUK.
The Energy Zone is a themed zone supported by the Science & Technology Facilities Council.
Oliver Moore | Robotics Engineer, UK Atomic Energy Authority
I’m making robots which are controlled by humans which go into dangerous places which would be very harmful if humans were to go themselves.

I answer e-mails! Jokes, I am involved in all stages of a project, design and sums, manufacture and testing and installation and commissioning.
Leah Morgan | Graduate Diagnostic Mechanical Engineer, UK Atomic Energy Authority
I want to make clean energy using a miniature sun in a huge, metal donut!
Hannah Griffin | Principal Software Engineer, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
I make software that scientists and other engineers use to plan complex, cutting-edge experiments using tiny particles and powerful lasers in huge laboratories.
Graeme Burt | Professor and Project Manager, Lancaster University
I make giant versions of microwave ovens to make atom smasher for CERN and for treating cancer.
