Inspiring the Next Generation: STEMworks & MOOG Bring Automation to Life in Tewkesbury

In Tewkesbury, something exciting is happening for young people with a curiosity for how the world works. STEMworks has partnered with MOOG to deliver a brand‑new Automation Lab, giving students the chance to explore the future of engineering through hands‑on learning.

Using LEGO robots, pupils step into the shoes of real automation engineers. They learn to code, problem‑solve, and understand how the same principles used in MOOG’s advanced manufacturing facilities apply to the challenges they tackle in the classroom. What begins as a simple robot becomes a gateway into understanding how modern factories move, sort, lift, and transport materials with precision.

The workshops are designed to spark imagination and confidence. Students see that coding isn’t just something that happens on a screen — it powers the machines that shape the world around them. By navigating real‑world scenarios, they discover how automation keeps industry moving and how their own ideas can drive innovation.

This partnership between STEMworks and MOOG is more than just some workshops. It’s an investment in the next generation of thinkers, makers, and engineers. By giving young people access to authentic, industry‑linked experiences, we’re helping them see a future where they can build, create, and lead.

Together, we’re inspiring tomorrow’s engineers, one robot at a time.
