We’ve curated a hub of resources from across the sector and beyond to help you to design, develop, deliver and evaluate your inspiration activities. 

Scroll down to find up-to-date information, guidance and insights covering a range of topics from organising inclusive events to sourcing images that represent modern engineering, along with information on how to evaluate what works and examples of collaboration that we hope will support Neon providers and Tomorrow's Engineers Code Signatories and that everyone can learn from. 

We will be collecting and categorising new content and regularly adding to these resources. If you’d like to submit a resource to be included, or if you have any feedback on any of the resources listed, please contact us.
