Who We Are:

Primary Engineer are an educational not-for-profit bringing engineering into classrooms across the UK. We connect engineering and technology professionals with schools so they can provide a real-world link to engineering, helping to break stereotypes and expand pupil understanding of what an engineer is and the opportunities and possibilities within industry. We are always looking for volunteers to support our programmes and competitions, helping to inspire the next generation of engineers.

Engagement Opportunity:

There are several opportunities you can be involved with through Primary Engineer Programmes which provides an engaging and hands-on STEM-based project for primary and secondary school teachers. Through supporting our teacher training, in-school engagement and Celebration Events you can engage with schools taking part in these programmes.

Training day: Attend a local training day with teachers from programme enrolled schools and be partnered with them as they learn how to build and deliver the programme into the classroom, with the opportunity to visit the school and support them thereafter.

In school engagement: Following completion of training you can liaise directly with teachers to discuss a visit to the school and support the rollout of the programme with the pupils.

Celebration event: Attend our Celebration Event where pupils from multiple schools put their engineering skills to the test by putting their models through a series of challenges, as well as show off what they have learned by being interviewed by engineers.

Young people cannot be what they cannot see. Being able to engage with engineering and learn that anyone can grow up to work in the industry can have a profound effect on them. So, if you want to be involved and help inspire the next generation of engineers get in touch today!

As recognition of your involvement, we welcome you as a Primary Engineer ‘Engineer Inspirer’. We will support your involvement and provide you with recognition of engagement for your own professional development.
