Celebrating the joy of engineering with Primary School pupils!

We recently kicked off our first celebration event for this academic year in North East England with our partner The Reece Foundation. But what exactly is a celebration event?

Our Primary Engineer Programmes provides STEM-based professional development for 2 teachers in a school, allows pupils to build and test their own models while getting to interact with engineering professionals in class, as well as attending a joint school event as they celebrate their achievements at the end of the programme.

These events are a chance for pupils and teachers to showcase their amazing engineering achievements. Imagine a morning filled with “organized chaos and fun” where students get to chat with industry professionals about the models they’ve built.

It’s all about recognising the incredible effort put in by both pupils and teachers.

Huge thank you to Reece Foundation for making this happen! And thank you to Adient, North East Automotive Alliance, Port of Tyne and ADC Electrical for supporting too!

This was just the beginning! We’ve since completed more celebration events around the UK and we’ve got more to come..
