About I'm an Engineer, Get me out of here!

Every year millions of people watch the CHRISTMAS LECTURES. This year’s Sparks will fly theme will raise many more questions beyond the lecture titles: The lightbulb moment, Making contact, A new revolution

We are teaming up with the fantastic I’m a Engineer, Get me out of here organisation to give everyone all over the world the opportunity to have their 'Sparks will fly' CHRISTMAS LECTURES questions answered online by a team of engineers, hackers and inventors in their interactive forum.

The site is now open for questions and will run throughout January 2015. Everyone can ask questions, and teachers can book their classes into half hour Live Chats with the engineers.

Building closures from 9 December onwards

We are closed on the 10 and 12 December, along with other closures during the week starting 9 December, full details here.
