Interesting Engineering
Community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science
Engineering is more than machinery and code. It’s intricate mechanisms that, when perfectly assembled, come together to create something astounding. Over ten years ago, Interesting Engineering was founded to help readers uncover these finely woven systems — to help them better understand what makes things tick.
Our mission was to use innovative storytelling to highlight the enthralling inner workings of the latest scientific breakthroughs, technological innovations, cultural phenomena, and more.
Today, we still stand by that mission.
