This web site from the charity Young Engineers aims to help foster a virtual community for its network of Young Engineers Clubs. The clubs exist to inspire young people of all ability levels to develop an interest in engineering and acquire personal skills in communication, teamworking, numeracy and literacy. The relaunched site includes an activity bank, guidance and support for club leaders, a local events calendar and a forum for club members to share learning and ideas.
