“If you were an engineer, what would you do?”

Leaders Award website and registration here. 

“Are you looking for a way of bringing engineering into the classroom, but don’t know where to start? This competitions is one of our flagship STEM programmes that invites pupils of all ages in both primary and secondary schools to imagine if they were an engineer, what problem would they most like to solve? They do this by interviewing professionals from the engineering field to help inspire them to create their own design of a solution to a real-world problem through an annotated illustration detailing their invention. As well as annotation, they will put their formal English writing skills into practice by creating their own letters of purpose, detailing and explaining their ideas, using persuasive techniques to appeal to our engineer judges – a thoroughly engaging and immersive experience for pupils, teachers and engineers alike.”

If you’d like to deliver this in the classroom, a pre-prepared ppt is available and all you have to do is arrange either an online interview with an engineer or for one to come visit you in person.

Leaders Award have some session already lined up and recordings of previous engineer sessions. Find out more here when you can arrange this online interview.
