Meet Scout!
Our incredibly talented illustrator AnukaArt has been super busy bringing our storyboard to life. The process is so much fun and we hope you love our characters in the book as much as we do.

PECT Collaboration
We have been approached and supported by Peterborough Environmental City Trust (PECT) with the aim to form a partnership to encourage families to go outside and join Scout’s team. A very exciting prospect which we hope will blossom in the coming months.

Working With Schools
We have been working with schools up and down the UK with over 100 schools trialing our book scripts. Our biggest critics have given us some positive thumbs up feedback which has been super reassuring :)
This image was recently taken by Thomas’s schools in London who had a themed day for Earth Day and even did a litter pick inspired by our first book called: “STOP DROPPING LITTER”.

The Prince’s Foundation
We have just been given the all-clear to work with ‘The Prince’s Foundation’ to create a workshop with them, that can be run by their education team at Dumfries House. This opportunity will allow us to generate more activity-based material linked to the themes of our books and STEM. Find out more about The Prince’s Foundation via the button below.
Flash Gallery
Our illustrations by Anuk Art continue, and we’d like to share with you some of this amazingly detailed artwork in High Definition detail. We are going to be creating an online gallery focused on a specific illustration, telling you how we came up with ideas for the images and why they contain certain “quirky” things. Keep your eyes peeled though, as the gallery will only be live for a week before we take it offline.
Our First Investors
Nick has been working tirelessly to network within big businesses, schools, and local authorities across the country and even internationally. His hard work has paid off and we have been given funding for 1000 books so that we can distribute them for free amongst schools in the UK. We also have two other likely sources looking to invest. WOOHOO!!!

Well, the interview has now been edited and is published on their website as a three-part series. Why not have a read!

It’s a really exciting month for the3engineers! We’ve signed a contract for our illustrations with Anuk Art.
We can’t wait to see our words come to life for the plastic story and share our progress with you all.
Our aim is to have the first book published and ready to be purchased by summer 2021 but there’s a lot to do before then.
