WARRINGTON-based Boulting Group had a wonderful opportunity to support college students at an “What science can do for me” careers event.
The purpose of the event at Rainford High Technology College was to give students the opportunity to explore careers and look at the importance of science in today’s and tomorrow’s workplace.
The event was well supported with an array of companies and professionals including The School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool Beer company, Patent Attorney, microbiologist, industrial chemist, physicist, pharmacist, geologist tour guide, forensics, nutritionist, midwives, veterinary surgeon, chemistry teacher and lab technician.
Jason Reece represented Boulting Group and covered the broad spectrum of electrical and mechanical engineering with the thought provoking questions: What’s yellow and dangerous? And: Is custard powder explosive?
This was followed by a short video of his children setting light to custard powder in the garden at home and linking this to hazardous dusts and sources of ignition in industry.
“The students were really engaged and inquisitive with a large number enquiring about engineering.
“Hopefully this will form a small piece of the jigsaw in their education and future careers,” said Jason.
