Primary Engineer® Time Machines

Take a hands-on journey through time with this brand new programme from Primary Engineer

We have fully funded places for 15 primary schools to take part in our exclusive pilot ‘Time Machines’.

Two teachers from your school will be invited to a full day of hands-on training, providing them with the skills to take the programme into the classroom. Every teacher will be provided with a full kit, worth £450, and a suite of curriculum mapped resources that will allow an entire class to learn about the history and engineering of watches, time pieces and the importance of time.

This pilot is completely free to schools thanks to the support of the George Daniels Trust.
