Unlock the doors to your future this summer and learn more about the exciting world of engineering. Developed by The Smallpeice Trust, this course invites students aged 12-14 to discover the future of engineering in the comfort of your own home.
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

What
The Smallpeice Trust are partnering with global safety and skills organisation OPITO for a third year, to inspire future energy careers by connecting engineering experts worldwide with the next generation of talent. Alongside hands-on activities, such as creating prototypes, students will explore what a career in the sector may look like. Students will also develop their problem-solving ability.
Please note this is a virtual course, we will post out the kit to take part at least 1-2 weeks ahead of the course but it may be sooner than this, we will send you a notification ahead of posting
How
This course will include the following:
