Street Vibe aims to transform how young people perceive and think about engineering via a series of in school and mass participation programmes that combine arts, music, acoustics, and science.

Street Vibe is funded by The Engineering and Physical Research Council and developed by a group of like-minded musicians, scientists and engineering professionals.

The project will involve a series of workshops with children and teenagers, showing them how to make instruments while teaching basic principles of engineering and culminate with a final main event, the Street Vibe Festival of Sound.

Building up to the Festival of Sound, Street Vibe workshops will be based around three pilot events:

	School Vibe - a workshop specially designed for schoolteachers offering teaching plans on projects, such as instrument making to teach their pupils in preparation for the Festival of Sound.
	Play Vibe - a workshop in school playgrounds to assist teachers who will be attending the Festival of Sound with their class.
	Street Theatre Vibe - musicians and the Street Vibe team will perform street theatre around central London interacting with the general public demonstrating engineering principles using fun, interactive experiments.

The Street Vibe Festival of Sound
Street Vibe Festival of Sound, developed and run by Kallaway will be a mass participation event held in the 'Scoop' outside the GLA in London in June 2008. Full details will be announced soon. Percussionist and composer Eugene Skeef and science communicator Steve Mesure will conduct the event live on a big screen. Visitors will be encouraged to participate and the concert will be accompanied by projections of the visual equivalent of the sounds; there will be demonstrations by scientists and engineers on stage and in marquees.
