In this Bedtime Story for Very Young Engineers, engineer Katie Cresswell-Maynard tells us about Per the Polar Bear, and how some bright young engineers helped Per find his way home in a warming world.

Bedtime Stories for Very Young Engineers is a movement that makes science and engineering one of the ideas very young people have for their futures via a medium they already love – bedtime stories. We aim to revolutionise the bedtime story from princesses and dinosaurs to problem-solvers and inventors, and introduce 2- to 5-year-olds to the world of making, improving and maintaining the human-made world around us. The project is run by Dr Anna Ploszajski (www.annaploszajski.com) and Dr Steve Cross (www.drstevecross.com), and was funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering.
