Inspiring engineersof the future
Imagineering Club members make individually a variety of the projects shown here.
The projects are available as a year package, termly options or individually.
Special individual ElectroMagnetism packages of 3 projects are also available.
Testing the Hydraulic Arm
The appropriate projects for those schools doing the Junior Engineering programme (typically Years 5 & 6 in Primary School), and those for the Inter-Engineering programme (generally Year 7/8 in a Secondary School) are marked accordingly below.
Inter-engineering projects are more advanced, take longer to build and are more technically challenging. Many students who have already spent a year doing Junior Engineering should easily be able to progress to Inter-Engineering projects.
It is possible for schools to run the Junior Engineering programme for students one year and then do Inter-Engineering with them the following year. The year and termly schedules are downloadable below.
More detailed information is available for each project by following its corresponding link. On each project page you will find further documents available for download.
Projects are also available individually and on a termly basis - for more information email Toni Fletcher at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
