Engineering shapes and maintains the world we live in. With technology evolving at such an astounding pace, we have a responsibility to introduce children to engineering experiences at an early age to help inspire our engineers of the future.
This primary course is aimed at teachers and members of leadership who would like to learn how to incorporate engineering thinking skills into the curriculum.
Over two days, we will give engineering a real relevance for the primary classroom by looking at the skills that engineers use to do their jobs and how you can apply these in your day to day lessons. We will look at different engineering sectors and demonstrate, with practical ideas, how engineering can be used to enhance science, maths, IT and literacy.
Each session will offer examples of engineering contexts which can help children make connections between the classroom subject matter and the real-world, thereby providing opportunities for them to develop mastery in those areas by applying their knowledge to hands-on tasks.
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course.
Course fees vary for participants outside the UK. Please contact enquiries@stem.org.uk for more information.
