Quality standard activities: Smallpeice STEM days and Residential Courses
The Smallpeice Trust is an independent charity providing exciting programmes to promote engineering careers to young people. They run two types of activities: science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) days and residential engineering courses.
STEM days take place in-school and provide a short introduction for Year 8 and 9 students into creative thinking and problem solving. Students work together in small teams on 'design and make' projects.
4-day residential courses at universities take student's interest in engineering a step further by exploring specific areas such as Aerospace or Supercomputing in Engineering, placing them alongside real engineers, professionals and technical specialists. Once they have inspired their interest in engineering, they get involved in projects to develop team working, problem solving and creative thinking skills.
