MEGA Explore Engineering Expo 2025
For the first time ever Construction Futures partnered with MEGA (Manufacturing & Engineering Growth & Advancement) and the Magherafelt and Rural Learning Partnership (MRLP) to deliver their annual event - the Explore Engineering Expo - showcasing future opportunities across engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

It was brilliant to see over 1,500 young people getting hands-on with activities and discovering what our industry has to offer, particularly those still choosing their GCSE & A-Level subjects. Engaging students early is key to developing a strong and sustainable talent pipeline.

As part of the event, Construction Futures brought The Big Bridge, an interactive workshop coordinated by Design ID Consulting Limited, that brings the exciting challenge of constructing a 13-metre-long, 3-metre-high cable-stayed bridge!
