Primary Engineer\u00ae<\/sup> is delighted to announce Thales as a funding partner for the \u2018If You Were an Engineer What Would You Do?\u00ae\u2019<\/sup> competition.<\/p>\n

The competition asks pupils from primary schools, secondary schools and nurseries to identify a problem and design a solution to it. As pupils interview engineers and research engineering they are encouraged to look at the world around them to find problems an engineered solution could solve. Alongside their annotated drawings, an accompanying letter is required to persuade engineers to choose their design to build. The entries are graded by engineers and shortlisted, where a judging panel then selects regional winners. Public exhibitions are then arranged, celebrating the determination and creativity of students.<\/p>\n

Chris Rochester, UK Director of Primary Engineer, said<\/strong>: \u201cIf You Were an Engineer, What Would You Do?\u00ae<\/sup>\u2019 provides thousands of pupils the opportunity to be inspired by engineering professionals. Each year, Thales\u2019 engineers have played a valuable part in doing exactly that. With their continued support for both South England and Northern Ireland, we will see even more pupils interview Thales professionals, providing a context to primary and secondary pupils\u2019 engagement with engineering. Thales engineers are inspiring pupils and teachers through meaningful interaction, finding solutions to world issues based upon their own interests. By working together, Thales and Primary Engineer provide pupils with an opportunity to do this on a wider scale.\u2019<\/p>\n

Charlene Simms, STEM Education and Outreach Manager, Thales said:<\/strong> \u201cThales feel it is important to take an active role with regards to Corporate Social Responsibility when engaging with our local schools. The project with Primary Engineer\u00ae<\/sup> allows us to share our expertise and knowledge with teachers so they can deliver an informative and fun activity to the students they work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thales recognises the importance of introducing young minds across the UK to science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM), through initiatives inspiring young people.
