Lynne Lauder, Enterprise Co-ordinator, welcomed 21 Primary school teachers  who attended a professional development session, facilitated by Primary Engineers, on Friday 25th April at Camelon Education Centre.
Science Engineering and Maths skills are critical to economic development of the Falkirk Area and this initiative will see schools working closely with the business community to develop these skills with our primary school pupils.
The session increased knowledge and understanding of skills related to Science, Engineering and Maths and provided teachers with a range of practical resources to support learning in the classroom. 
Key to the success of the programme will be the links established between the schools and the engineers and apprentice engineers from various companies.  Teacher will deliver the project to whole classes of pupils and the engineers will act as the expert in the room.

Engineers and Apprentices from Forth Valley College, Heriot Watt University, ADL (Alexander Denis Logistics) Petrofac, The Wood Group & Scottish Power attended the professional learning day.  This was the first step in cementing the relationships which will drive the programme forward.
