Pupils from Abingdon recently traveled to London for an exciting opportunity to attend a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Engineering Group in the Cholmondeley Room at the House of Lords. Introduced by Professor the Lord Mair, the high-profile gathering focused on the critical topic of “Dealing with Engineering Vibrations,” giving students the chance to connect directly with parliamentarians and industry leaders from major firms, including Mott MacDonald and Rolls-Royce.
A key highlight of the event was a presentation by guest speaker Dr. James Tolbert of Cambridge, who delivered insightful perspectives on scientific research and engineering innovation. The Abingdon pupils actively engaged in the discussion before wrapping up an inspiring afternoon over lunch alongside the guest speakers and industry experts.
