If you've flown out of Heathrow Airport in London over the past few years, Mohammad has had an impact on your journey. As an engineer looking after the busiest airport in the UK, he plays a crucial part in ensuring your journey goes as smoothly and as efficiently as possible.
As well as his work in the airport, Mohammad is a TedX speaker and educator who specialises in the fields of engineering, aviation, and personal development. He uses the power of social media to educate his audience of over 350 thousand followers, to bring to life what happens behind the scenes in an airport in short informative videos!
From the baggage system to the runway and even the control tower, Mohammad's goal is to inspire the next generation of engineers into the aviation industry and STEM careers.
Where better to start this education than with children! Mohammad’s animated children's book will take them on a journey behind the curtain at the airport to answer questions like "what happens to your bag along the journey?”, ”Why does it take so long to get off a plane sometimes” and "How do airplanes fly?”
Mohammad's creatively illustrated, and entertaining book, will be aimed at children aged between 3-5 years old and riddled with simplified engineering and science concepts that are designed to spark the curious minds of the engineers of the future!
Mohammad Taher is a qualified Aerospace engineer with a track record of leading continuous improvement and cultural change within complex operational environments, such as terminal facilities, baggage systems, and The Heathrow airfield.
Mo is a motivational speaker across many platforms. Mo spoke at The House of Commons for an event hosted by Boeing and The Royal Academy of Engineering, at multiple schools across the UK, and at a TedX event.
