Inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators
As proud sponsors of the Switch Room at the Science Museum, the CIBSE Patrons are delighted to have produced this dynamic, hands-on exhibit designed to inspire children and families. Located in the basement of the museum on Exhibition Road, the Switch Room is a vibrant space where young visitors can explore the fascinating world of engineering, energy, and innovation.
Why the Switch Room matters
At CIBSE, we believe in the power of engineering to shape the future. The Switch Room embodies this vision, offering children the chance to:
- Experiment with real-world challenges: Through interactive exhibits, kids can discover how HVAC systems work, and put their problem-solving skills to the test!
- Learn through play: The Switch Room makes complex ideas accessible and fun, fostering creativity and critical thinking.
- See the impact of engineering: From sustainable energy to smart buildings, the exhibit shows how engineering impacts our lives.
Our commitment to education
As CIBSE Patrons, we are dedicated to supporting initiatives that encourage young people to explore careers in engineering and building services. The Switch Room is a testament to our shared belief that every child should have the opportunity to engage with science and technology in an inspiring, hands-on way.
