We’re committed to shaping the future—that’s exactly what Neil Goodman aimed to do during his recent visit to Stokenchurch Primary School.
Neil’s presentation was designed to captivate and connect with the children, offering a glimpse into the many career paths in engineering and how engineers make a real difference in the world.
The highlight of the visit? Neil’s personal stories as a structural engineer. He shared fascinating details about designing equipment for some of the biggest films ever made, including Harry Potter and James Bond. The behind-the-scenes magic delighted the children, showing them how far-reaching and diverse a career in engineering can be.
To make the experience even more relatable, Neil spoke about his journey into engineering. He explained how hands-on learning and curiosity shaped his career, encouraging the children to see the potential in the skills they are developing today. His visit wasn’t just about explaining what engineers do—it was about inspiring big dreams. By the end of the session, the children were brimming with excitement and eager to explore how they might one day leave their mark on the world of engineering.
One teacher summed up the impact of the visit beautifully, saying,“Thank you for giving our children the opportunity to speak to an engineer! All the children and staff loved it! Neil was extremely informative, and all the children came away feeling inspired! Most children loved the fact that engineers can work in the movie industry and can design anything from underground car parks to multi-story buildings.”
At JNP Group, we are passionate about encouraging young minds to embrace STEM and consider the endless opportunities in engineering. Visits like Neil’s are a fantastic way to show students how the skills they’re learning today can lead to extraordinary futures.
Here’s to building a brighter future, one young mind at a time!
