Take a moment to think about the device at your fingertips right now. Glass, aluminium, silicone. A lithium battery keeping the screen lit. Rare earth minerals like yttrium and terbium create this colorful display! In order to use the technology that has become a part of our everyday lives, these natural resources must be unearthed.


WEIR develops infrastructure and mining technology for a sustainable future and provides the world with critical minerals and resources. At this Days Off experience, we will explore the world of mining, learning how Weir solves the problem of accessing and using natural minerals sustainably. Enjoy metal casting, and exciting workshops on design and manufacturing. This Days Off experience is ideal for any student interested in technology, development, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability. 


Bonus, visit their beautiful new headquarters via exclusive campus tour!
