This London Engineering Project case study, part of the Royal Academy of Engineering collection, describes a summer school for Year 10 students designed to encourage and inspire participants to go on to higher education.

This STEM resource is inspired by the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.

Engineering a better world is a series of activities, practical tasks and discussion points that invite young learners to explore the role that young engineers and entrepreneurs play in developing innovations that will bring...

In this resource designed by the IET, pupils are tasked with designing a stadium to meet the needs of people attending the men’s football World Cup in Qatar.

They will need to think about the main design considerations and requirements for the stadium, produce annotated sketches of their idea and think about...

Engineering in the Movies lets pupils explore the creative and practical side of STEM in the movie industry while introducing the important role engineers have in the movie industry. Through 12 engaging activities, pupils will see how topics from their subject lessons can be applied in real-world engineering. This...

Opportunities for engineers exist at all levels and these career route maps from Neon show various routes through education and training to become a professional engineer in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), focuses on understanding the concept of modular design and the casting process. The resource is designed to allow students to:

• describe the...

The development of running blades has greatly enhanced the running ability of amputees and people born without legs.  In this activity students learn more about how the inventor of running blades applied the scientific concept of potential elastic energy and biomimicry to design a high performance prosthetic leg....

Engineering for families is a 6-week structured course for children aged 7 - 11 and their families. It is designed to be used in an afterschool club led by teachers or other adults. Each week focuses on a career within a different discipline of engineering, with a final engineering challenge week. 

This resource explores the vital role engineers play in responding to a global pandemic. It is designed to provide practical and contextualised tasks that demonstrate the role that STEM-based learning plays in real-world engineering scenarios.

Challenges in this STEM resource include:

• building...

These resources explore how different indigenous populations have used engineering to allow them to live in extreme environments and what we can learn from these solutions. They also explore some modern engineering solutions to living in extreme environments.

The engineering our existence STEM resources are...

In activity, students produce an Engineering ‘specification’ based on application of their science and mathematics knowledge and understanding. This will be put into the context of risks to London from flooding and the need for improved flood defences due to increased risk of higher floods due to rising sea levels...

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals, and to explore the latest ideas in search-and-rescue robotics.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), is useful as a quick introduction to a lesson looking at the properties of modern materials.

The resource is part of the...

This activity provides a quick introduction to a lesson focusing on the link between water and health. It encourages students to think about the role of engineers in providing us with healthy water supplies and waste-water disposal systems.

This study guide, from the National Strategies, defines enhancement and enrichment in the science classroom, looks at current practice and issues, and provides planning and evaluation guides for activities. Case studies are included, as well as activity plans and...
