LICHFIELD EARLY YEARS

effortless — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 12:55:44 +0000

We travelled down to Lichfield Cathedral School to deliver Early Years training, illustrating how using shakers, hand puppets and Humpty Dumpty can be linked to engineering. Thanks to Carl Zeiss UK and BECS Link for funding the programme and Lichfield Cathedral School for their wonderful hospitality!

Following training in Lichfield of sixteen teachers from eleven schools we received some amazing feedback. Joanna Churton from Lichfield Cathedral School contacted us to let us know about the Early Engineers programme that was undertaken.

“I am writing to say that we were delighted with the training course yesterday and that the day was a huge success. Nick and Liam did a great job and the delegates that took part had a very productive and engaging morning.”

She then goes on to say, “Many children are going to benefit from this event and the practitioners went home inspired with fresh ideas and appropriate activities and terminology to share with children. It was lovely also that Liam was able to meet briefly with our Year 4 team who were actually building their cars that same afternoon having benefitted from the STEM training last term –‘poetry in motion’ so to speak. So a very successful event all round; thank you to all at Primary Engineer.”

FALKIRK TRAINING

effortless — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 12:42:18 +0000

We couldn’t keep people away from St Bernadette’s Primary School on February 14th, with three applications arriving on the day of the training! In keeping with the date, some of the vehicles were decorated with a Valentine’s Day theme. The enthusiastic response from the 15 teachers present suggested there was something in the air. Thanks to Babcock for funding the training.

ABERDEENSHIRE TRAINING

effortless — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 12:39:08 +0000

For the first of three days in Scotland we travelled all the way up to Aberdeen through some worrying snow. The day went really well, with a supporting engineer for each school provided by Arup and Amey. The electric cars and shoe box vehicles came together really well and didn’t have to contend with any ice – unlike us when we drove to the next event straight afterwards.

VOLKER WESSELS TRAINING

effortless — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 10:46:59 +0000

Ten teachers from five schools attended our training when we re-visited VolkerWessels UK in December. Everyone managed to get their car to the top of the ramp by the end of the session. As well as hosting the event Volker Wessels have arranged for a number of their engineers to work directly with all of the schools who attended. We’re looking forward to working with them again in the near future.
