  • Full year - 30 weeks - traditional Club
  • Termly options
  • Half size Clubs (for 6 rather than 12 pupils)
  • Half size Clubs - termly
  • All projects now individually available to schools for class projects, special events etc.

The individual projects can be ordered by schools on this form here

The projects are all listed under the PROJECTS tab (to the left ). Then scroll down and click on the project image of your choice for more details on the kit. All the exciting projects are linked to the National Curriculum.

Imagineering Clubs are weekly out-of-school clubs run throughout the academic year where pupils have fun making a series of working engineering models from kits which they can take home when completed to share with their families. In normal times, Clubs are:

  • 12 children, girls and boys, mixed skills and backgrounds (Half size club option also available)
  • may be led by a teacher/assistant or a volunteer engineer
  • further volunteers, including willing parents
  • (Download the General Schools and Tutors leaflets below for benefits to teachers and pupils

We were most impressed by the excellent quality and range of your models and would have no hesitation in recommending the Imagineering Foundation to our fellow colleagues and to other educational establishments
