From the archives: this was our Sheffield show in 2015, probably the most 'celeb' line-up we'll ever have. Two of them had very popular Channel 4 shows linked to engineering. The other two are now even more famous. Who do you recognise?

Our first autumn show was about the role maths plays in civil engineering, hosted by Aoife Hunt who introduced talks from three inspirational young engineers. The audience of Year 12s loved it. Our thanks to the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) for their support.

Sixth form teachers! On 18th September we're putting on a special FREE 75-minute show in Dulwich about maths and Civil Engineering. It's aimed at Year 12s. You MUST email to reserve places, see poster below. It'll be brilliant for students who are considering their options for university.

Welcome back for the new term. A reminder that we have a full autumn programme of shows for Year 11s/12s. There's still decent availability for our shows in Birmingham and Cambridge, other shows have waiting lists but we can usually accommodate many of those schools. www.mathsinspiration.com

We listened to our customers, who (like us) really don't like AI slop. Our revised poster for the civil engineering show has been designed and created by a human.
