Held at Metsa Wood, it was a unique and inspiring space where we were joined by local engineers from RAF, MOD, Metsa Wood and Mastenbroek who were all partnered with the schools they will be going in to support in the classroom.

Helen Ratcliffe, a teacher at Swineshead St Mary’s Primary School said, “I found this course inspirational, it’s one of the best courses I have been on and I know I can take it back to school and already have ideas of how to bring this into the curriculum.  It will give pupils a purpose for their learning and will hopefully it will inspire them to go into Engineering”

It was great to see the teachers working together and sharing their successes in this session, we had cheers and lots of clapping as their electric vehicles made it to the top of the highest level on the test ramp.

Primary Engineer engaged with hundreds of children and parents and ran the Leaders Award activity where we ask the question “If you were an engineer what would you do?” Children of all ages were asked to think of a problem and then come up with an engineering-based solution, luckily for them engineers were on hand to help inspire them.

In addition a previous winning entry which has been made into a prototype was on the display. The Roll-Over-Bench drew lots of attention and it was great to also have Gemma from the Proto Team on hand to discuss how a drawing became reality.
