After a few months of developing our website and getting our engineers to think about their research bookmarks (yes we have awesome bookmarks) we finally started to take our engineers to schools. One of the first visit we did was last week in a couple of schools in Darlington!
In the image below you can see Paula’s (on the right) most magnificent thing as imagined and built by children in a reception class!
At the same time, we have taken the Tales of Engineering project to this year’s Association For Science Education (ASE) Annual Conference which took place at Reading University. This is one of largest Science Education Conference of its kind and we were delighted to have engaged with teachers and practitioners, showcasing how storytelling can be used to positively talk about engineering with children in EYFS.
In the meantime we are keeping ourselves busy tying to book more schools/ cultural venues visits so keep checking our events calendar to check if we are going to be near you!
