Twenty primary schools will be able to deliver Primary Engineer this academic year through the partnership with Thales, with twenty schools around each Thales site supported by Thales engineers who will support in the classroom and bring a real-world context to pupil’s learning.

“Dawn Ohlson, Thales UK Director of Systems, said, “It’s important to inspire children as early as possible with the possibilities of engineering and not only is it great that Thales are doing this with Primary Engineer but I’m personally partnering a local school.  Having had an excellent day with the teachers and bags of fun today, I’m looking forward to working on the programme with the pupils in the classroom as are all of the Thales engineers.”
