Primary school activities

Our primary school outreach programme brings the excitement of engineering directly to the classroom. Through interactive talks from our academics, hands-on activities, and engaging workshops, we introduce young learners to the world of engineering in fun and accessible ways. These sessions are designed to spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving and show how engineering shapes the world around us.​
