Yay! Our amazing CityZen Award has won an award 🏆There are hundreds of senior school pupils taking part right now so hopefully this will inspire them too!
WE WON!!!!!! Best Learning Game with @MakeRealLtd, huge congrats to the team at Make Real for helping us create CityZen, a #CivilEngineering game for 16-18 year olds. #LT2023Awards @LearnTechUK
Lots to think about after a visit to the Time is Running Out exhibition @gsc1 today. If you’re visiting go have a look on the 1st floor and be amazing at what civil engineers are doing to combat climate change
Fantastic sustainable energy drawing at Glasgow Science Centre today as part of the “Time is running out” exhibition. If you’re visiting, come and see us on the 1st floor!
In a fantastic location today! Celebrating the 202nd birthday of the Union Chain Bridge with some great bridge construction from the visitors. Lots of future engineers here
Just finished talking to pupils @MossheadPS about civil engineering and numeracy. What a fantastic group with loads of great questions! #NationalNumeracyDay @ICEScotland

From fictional ethical concerns to non-fiction - the Theranos blood testing scandal is a real life example of the ethical considerations when engineering solutions don’t work #WorldBookDay
My two sisters went to ballet and I was the one interested in engineering! I wish I'd read this when I was young but it's never too late to read a book #WorldBookDay
Another suggestion from one of our @ICEScotland engineers. This book explores different ways of being a girl, including Petrova who has a real passion for engineering, just like us! #WorldBookDay
People don't always remember that civil engineers have to think about gravity in everything we do - different planet = different gravity = different engineering! So glad we mainly work on earth
You might have seen the film but the book’s always better! Read about the real world application of engineering (even when it’s a different world) #WorldBookDay
I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with!
It's #WorldBookDay on Thursday, so we thought we'd ask some of our @ICEScotland engineers what they like to read. We'll share their recommendations tomorrow...
Just one example of our fabulous @ICEScotland STEM Ambassadors doing a fantastic job showing young people what civil engineers do! #SAISWeek
It's STEM Ambassadors in Scotland Week! Our current ICE Scotland Ambassador of the Year, Kalina, tells us her favourite thing about being a STEM Ambassador is “the amazing young people I get to meet and their enthusiasm when it comes to STEM” #SAiSWeek
It's amazing to see just how much @ICEScotland civil engineers can contribute to making our world more sustainable - true invisible superheroes!
We asked @STEMAmbassadors to support the 'Sustainability Share' theme of #YoungSTEMLeaderWeek by telling us how their job relates to any of the Sustainable Development Goals, creating a growing resource from their responses.

Totally love the canals in Scotland. So much amazing engineering, social history and wildlife too. Go explore! (in a Covid appropriate manner)
Looking for something to do in #Edinburgh - use our guide to civil engineering along the Union Canal from Fountainbridge to the Slateford Aqueduct. A trail through history from the Napoleonic Wars right up until now. @scottishcanals

I may be a little biased but I think she’s fabulous (as are all @ICEScotland STEM Ambassadors) #VoteLauryn
The @ICE_engineers Pitch 200 competition asks members to explain an aspect of civil engineering in 200 seconds, and one of our @STEMAmbassadors has made the global finals! 🙌
Watch @LaurynSteelETS discuss bridges & give her your vote!

Great to see some @ICEScotland #STEMAmbassadors - it’s so good to have women at this level to inspire young people
Happy #INWED21 to all our fabulous engineers! You inspire so many young people (& not so young). You are my #EngineeringHeroes
Congratulations to Jo and to our Scottish STEM Ambassador of the Year, Kalina Dimitrova. Our @ICEScotland volunteers are fabulous all year round but it's nice to be able to say an extra thank you this #NationalVolunteersWeek
🥁Drumroll please...
Our 2021 STEM Ambassador of the Year is Jo Hartnell 🙌🎉

Any @ICEScotland engineers willing to get involved? Let me know and I’ll be happy to help
Deadline for submitting short profiles for @UoDSciEng's #INWED21 video celebrating UK #WomenInEngineering is on the 21st of May.
All requirements below and on the form: forms.gle/PrW8L2vE9KJ7firUA
Get in here #EngineeringHeroes 🙌
Couldn’t agree more!
All STEM subjects are useful in Civil Engineering. It really is that diverse! Civil and structural engineers make sure our built world is safe and fit for purpose. Work hard and become one! #GlobalScienceShow #STEMAmbassadorsinScotland #mistermarcmaths
Our fabulous @ICEScotland volunteers have continued to inspire young people about civil engineering throughout lockdown and home schooling. You are all amazing and not just virtually!
Great article from @fmratcliffe, our current #STEM Ambassador of the Year - encouraging nominations for this year's award
