Aerospace Engineering – Fail Fast, Learn Quickly

Thursday 13 November 2025 | 8.40am-9.10am

Secondary

Microsoft Teams Live*

Cost: FREE

Online


To celebrate Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, join STEM Ambassador Mark for a Live Talk!

‘Fail fast, learn quickly’ is a phrase Mark has heard often during his almost 20 years in Aerospace Engineering. Hear him explain how he has learned that it’s okay to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them and don’t give up if something doesn’t work the first time.

During the talk, Mark will explain what an Aerospace Engineer does, share his path to a career in engineering, and talk through examples from his career to date that show how it can take many attempts to get something right — it’s all part of the job!

This live talk, aimed at secondary aged students (most suitable for KS3-5), will be informative and engaging, and there will be the opportunity to ask questions afterwards.

This virtual secondary school assembly talk will take place using MS Teams Live. The platform has safeguarding built-in to make it a safe online environment, especially for young people, including no webcams or microphones and a live Q&A function which is fully moderated.
