Bishopton Primary School is excited to announce that it is now a member of the Institution of Primary Engineers. The vision is that pupils will take ownership of their learning from an early age and will engage with a range of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activities. This will enable them to learn more about the breadth of engineering and its career paths.
By engaging with engineering projects, pupils will be able to make connections between their knowledge and understanding in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and apply it. Members of the Institution of Primary Engineers will be able to develop solutions to challenges and real world problems through applying their knowledge and understanding of STEM, whilst also developing the skills, attitudes and attributes needed to become engineers of the future.
A pupil-led committee will form the basis of the Institution of Primary Engineers at school level and, with the support of teachers and engineers, will develop a plan to engage pupils in engineering projects and embed engineering into the life of the school.
Calling all engineers!
