It was great to take part in another incredible year of the 'Brilliantly Engineered' festival!

This year, our student teams, Team Bath Racing Electric, Team Bath Drones, and Team Bath Heart, proudly showcased their cutting-edge #engineering exhibits and hands-on demonstrations with local families.

More than 300 school pupils from schools across southern England faced off in a Formula 1 challenge at the University last week.

Pupils from 26 primary and secondary schools, aged from nine to 19, took part in the South West regional finals of F1 in Schools, the official education challenge of #F1.

While the lifestyles of the wealthiest Britons remain carbon-intensive, our latest study has revealed that higher-income households are more likely to invest in low-carbon technology like electric vehicles and energy-efficient heat pumps.
