Open the doors to their future this summer and learn more about the fascinating world of engineering. Delivered by our STEM Engagement Specialists at The Smallpeice Trust, this course invites students aged 12-14 to imagine the world of tomorrow in the company of other likeminded students who all share a love for all things engineering! This course has been kindly funded by SC Johnson.
During the course, students will learn about the following:
Cyber Security - learn about the basic principles of cyphers, encryption and cyber safety. Through fun puzzles and videos, students will discover the importance of strong passwords, online research, and privacy.
Electrical Engineering - students will design and build a lunar rover, learning about solar power and super capacitors. After construction, students test their rover in various conditions to optimise its performance.
Space Engineering - students will program an online rover for a mineral-collecting mission on an alien planet. Using a block-based app, they will learn to control the rover's movements and sensors and progress through a series of challenges.
If you have previously attended an Engineering Experience course you may have already completed some of the modules above, please evaluate whether this program offers a suitable learning experience. If you are unsure, please contact info@smallpeicetrust.org.uk
