A trio of news stories celebrating the support that both KOREC and Trimble are providing to the education sector across the UK

There isn’t much that’s more important than ensuring the next generation are informed, enthused and inspired to join us in the exciting world of engineering, construction and the built environment.

In how many other industries can you make such a direct and positive change in how we design, build and maintain the spaces in which we live, work and play?

That’s why we’re delighted to highlight 3 recent stories that do just that;

KOREC & National Highways make a Big impact

Our team were delighted to support National Highways at the recent Big Bang Fair in Birmingham.

The 3-day event saw tens of thousands of children aged 11-14 descend on the NEC to get involved in all things STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths).

Ikra, Sam and Darrell joined the National Highways team at the Big Bang Fair

The KOREC team were on hand to showcase the very cool technologies that are being utilised to made the collection, sharing and understanding of spatial data easier and more intuitive. The star of the show was most certainly the Trimble XR10 headset. The team loaded various digital models including dinosaurs, robots and an airplane into the device, which the kids could then view and explore!
