This was the Constructor’s first year working together on the Primary Engineer Construction Programme, to inspire the next generation of engineers in London.
The partnership provides the opportunity for 10 schools to benefit from a one-day CPD training course, supplied kit and resources to build up to 30 projects across two classrooms in each school and a celebration event to bring the schools together and celebrate the power of engineering. The classroom sessions allow for 60 pupils to build 15 Lower Primary shoebox tipper trucks and 15 Upper Primary Towers with an electrical circuit, working in pairs.
The Primary Engineer Construction Programme provides a fantastic opportunity to engage with engineering, meet and work with engineering professionals and develop engineering skills. Thanks to our partnership with the Worshipful Company of Constructors we successfully linked 8 schools with an engineer to support the teacher within the classroom.
