Skills Miner
Enginuity have harnessed Minecraft’s popularity to bring engineering to life in a fun and innovative way. Their Skills Miner award-winning games and lessons enable players to immerse themselves in engineering: tackling challenges; solving problems, and gaining real insight into what it takes to become an engineer.
At Smart Factory Expo, secondary education students will experience the unique Skills Miner games and lessons, merging the fun of gaming with the skills of engineering.

Another activity taking place on Wednesday 16 November will see students from The Studio Liverpool, a school dedicated to preparing young people for successful careers in the creative and digital industries, covering Smart Factory Expo from the point of view of the next generation of media professionals.
Students will be dropping into the exhibitor stands of Smart Factory Expo to conduct mini interviews which will then be broadcast through the various publishing channels of The Manufacturer and the wider media.
