We are committed to working to engineer a better world.

What we do

Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025

We’ll be fundraising to give more young people the opportunity to experience real-world STEM challenges and valuable life skills that can support them in their future careers.

From 2 - 9 December 2025, you have the opportunity for your donation to be matched, doubling the impact on children’s STEM education.

Your collective support enables us to have a bigger impact on the future of engineering, and together we’ll make a difference because better never stops, and thanks to you – neither will we.

Because early exposure to engineering transforms futures

Without the donations of individuals and companies it just couldn’t happen.

By supporting these events you’re making this learning and life experience possible for thousands of children in the UK.

Because your donations can help someone find their place in engineering

Jasmine was first introduced to the world of engineering at 13 years old thanks to an IET Faraday® Challenge Day arranged by her Year 9 physics teacher.

75,000+ children each year will experience a STEM event delivered by the IET

Because one STEM event can change a career path and with your support we can bring our programmes to a wider audience.

Making a difference

"If we 'support today' they may 'deliver in the future'.

"There is a hidden talent in all children - let STEM initiatives and other inspiration help show them the way."
