We construct explicit generating sets $F_n$ and $\tilde F_n$ of the alternating and the symmetric groups, which turn the Cayley graphs $\mathcal {C}(\mathrm {Alt}(n), F_n)$ and $\mathcal {C}(\mathrm {Sym}(n), \tilde F_n)$ into a family of bounded degree expanders for all sufficiently large $n$. These expanders have many applications in the theory of random walks on groups and in other areas of mathematics.
