Meet the engineers in Live CHATs, 8-9pm

“Are driverless cars safe?” “What sort of skills make a for a good engineer?”

“Is engineering suitable for anyone?” “Will we be able to swap from petrol to renewables in just 20 years?”

Each evening, parents and carers can have conversations with a group of engineers in the Future Transport Zone drop-in Live CHATs. Chats are an informal way to meet each other, get answers to questions about engineering, and delve deeper into the work of each engineer. Click the CHAT icon in the top menu to go to the chat page from anywhere in the zone.

The live chat page is open from 8-9pm, Monday to Thursday, until November 16th.

Live chats are text only, like Whatsapp groups messages but engineering-focused and without pictures of other peoples pets.

Engineers:

Please comment below with which evenings you can be online. If you’d like to join all or part of the drop-in chats, please comment below to say so, e.g. ‘Hi, I’ll be there on Monday and Wednesday from 8.15 :)’.  There will be a moderator in the chat at all times to help it run smoothly.

Parents and carers:

Check the comments below to see which engineers are planning to be in the chats. Take a look through these engineers’ profiles and log in any time between 8-9pm, Monday to Thursday, to chat with them here: futuretransport.iaeuk.ddev.site/talk

Remember, to chat you’ll need a username for the Future Transport Zone. Create your username here
