Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council – CPD Courses
Primary Engineer®
CPD Courses
Providing excellent engineering teaching to young minds, Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council is enabling Primary Engineer® to bring the ‘Structures and Mechanisms with Basic Electrics’ course and the ‘Early Years Engineering’ programme into classrooms in the Midlands.
Enabling young minds to engage with mechanical engineering, the ‘Structures and Mechanisms with Basic Electrics’ course gives teachers practical training and the opportunity to work alongside world-class engineers. As a curriculum-mapped project built to improve confidence in STEM, the CPD course give access to sets of tools, consumable kits and online resources, supporting teachers in their lessons. The ‘Structures and Mechanisms with Basic Electrics’ is opening young minds to the limitless possibilities within an engineering career.
The ‘Early Years Engineer’ programme introduces yet more inquiry-based learning into young classrooms, blending a series of creative and practical courses with STEM. By creating magnetic cars, investigating shakers and studying crash mat materials, early years pupils engage with futuristic concepts, real-life careers and form their own studies at a young age, planting the seed of engineering for future professions.
This course is the first step with regards to practical teacher training. The outcome will enable teachers to deliver a whole class, curriculum-mapped engineering project which allows for a variety of outcomes. The project supports practical STEM and gives pupils the opportunity to work with engineers in the classroom.
Primary Engineer® has a competition element to champion children’s engineering ingenuity and provide a forum to celebrate their engineering skills and achievements. Pupils come together to test their vehicles and discuss their work with engineer judges at celebration events and regional finals run and managed by Primary Engineer®. Access to our Resource area is included for teachers where all of our interactive and downloadable teaching resources are housed.
All training and celebration events will be held virtually this academic year.
