Global engineering technologies company Renishaw has offered one-day work experience placements to students from the 2017 FameLab Academy, a science communication competition for year nine students in Gloucestershire. The competition aims to improve communication skills and inspire an interest in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) careers. On the day, the students visited Renishaw’s Innovation Centre for a tour and hands-on activities to give them a taste of what a career in engineering entails.
