Through participation in the workshop students will:
- Understand what engineers do and how they use the engineering design process.
- Learn how their own interests and skills can lead to a career in engineering.
- Understand the range of opportunities a career in engineering has to offer.

Energy Quest has been designed so it links to the science and D&T curricula across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is also informed by the Gatsby Benchmarks in England linking curriculum learning to careers and providing encounters with employers.
A breakdown of how the Energy Quest workshop links to the national curricula can be found on in the FAQs.
