School Presentations Roadshow

A key element of the ACP outreach to young people is our direct presentations face-to-face at schools across the United Kingdom.

Having split the UK into ten ‘regions’ the ACP visits several host schools in each region per year – that particular school in turn hosts a substantial number of other schools, both independent and state, for our presentation. With an increasing number of host schools per region over a number of years the coverage of schools across the entire UK becomes substantial.

Presentations emphasise the emerging technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, such as artificial intelligence, the internet-of-things (IoT), quantum computing, virtual reality, big data, blockchain and so on, and incorporate extensive audio visual aids including video and demonstration technology such as robotics and virtual reality, plus associated industry experts to answer questions directly from students and teachers.

Taking industry direct to students

Each presentation event is divided into two parts. The first, lasting two hours, is an inter-active presentation supported by extensive audio-visual aids, including video, and physical items such as a Boston Dynamics robot and a replica NASA space suit. Additionally, a camera equipped drone is used to take photos/video film. Second, a breakout session of 1.5 hours involving up to five ‘areas’ – three with the ACP featuring technologies such as robotics, virtual reality and 3D printing – and two featuring potential employers within our three industries supported by their own electronic and physical technology/careers material. The breakout session is an opportunity for students and teachers/careers advisers to ask questions and seek direct advice.

All of this is backed-up with links to our website which provides increasing information about these technologies, the aerospace, space and aviation industries and the career opportunities they offer. Continued digital communications thereafter is via a point of contact within the school until the young person reaches the age of 18 when contact becomes direct.
