Engineering students from Kings London visited Big Bang London at Westminster Kingsway, Kings Cross. The exhibition and workshop was aimed at explaining the achievements of science and engineering. One of the highlights was a workshop by Dell where they learnt about careers in the IT sector which is rapidly expanding globally.
