Dyson School

Most people think engineering is about greasy overalls and repairing things - it's probably why so many young people choose not to study it these days.

For James Dyson, engineering is all around us: the cars we drive, new technology and thinking. His idea was for a new type of school to get young people involved in engineering and create a new generation of inventors - the Brunels of tomorrow.

Our aim was to build a school for young engineers in Bath, a city close to Dyson's base. There have been a number of obstacles to overcome and unfortunately the biggest hurdle - government bureacracy - has held the project up for too long. Reluctantly we've decided to move on from our original Bath site and hope to announce a new project shortly. If a school proves impossible we'll find another way.
