Curious about how technology and engineering are used to help people make critical decisions in complex, high-pressure environments?

Join us for a hands-on day with Rowden, a UK engineering company that designs and builds technology for defence, emergency services and national security organisations.

You'll explore topics like Machine Learning, Radio Frequency (RF) and systems engineering through interactive talks, workshops and challenges designed for beginners.

No prior knowledge or technical experience is needed - just curiosity and a willingness to get stuck in.

If you're interested in careers in technology and engineering and want to get hands-on with real-world and emerging technologies, this is the Insight Day for you!
