Gatwick Airport is supporting the development of STEM education in the classroom by funding two teachers per school in Gatwick to attend the online Secondary Engineer Fluid Power course and kit to enable the delivery of the project.

Our one-day virtual practical CPD course for Secondary Engineer Fluid Power Challenge will enable you to deliver a whole-class, curriculum-mapped engineering project and be partnered with a professional engineer in the area to work with you on the training day and after with pupils in the classroom.

Develop skills, both practical and cognitive with your learners as they use and apply maths and science through a design and make the project. Link it to learning themes and deliver cross-curricular teaching and learning through engineering.

This course is the first step with regards to practical teacher training.  The outcome will enable teachers to deliver a whole class, curriculum-mapped engineering project which allows for a variety of outcomes. The project supports practical STEM and gives pupils the opportunity to work with engineers in the classroom.

Secondary Engineer^® has a competition element to champion children’s engineering ingenuity and provide a forum to celebrate their engineering skills and achievements. Pupils come together to test their vehicles and discuss their work with engineer judges at celebration events and regional finals run and managed by Secondary Engineer^®. Access to our Resource area is included for teachers where all of our interactive and downloadable teaching resources are housed.

All training and celebration events will be held virtually this academic year on Monday 26th of April.
