Abstract
The Get a Grip Ambassador programme, trained seven Human Factors (HF) professionals in public engagement and creative communication, enabling them to design and deliver inclusive workshops to school groups underrepresented in engineering. These workshops introduced nearly 300 students to HF through hands-on design challenges, significantly increasing awareness and interest in the discipline among students and teachers. Evaluation showed strong ambassador skill development, high student enjoyment, and positive teacher feedback, highlighting the programme’s success in inspiring future ergonomists and fostering outreach best practices.
