We would like to know a little more about your experience of teaching practical activities and what you hope to gain from your involvement.
Thank you
3. Choose your class project
a.) Get an overview. Take a look at the Projects at glance document to see all the projects to choose from.
b.) For more detail about the projects. Navigate to the Projects page. Each project is divided into three key sections - Exploration, Skill builder, and Tinker time.
c.) Once you have chosen your project. Collect your resources from the Maker{Kit} and get started!.
4. Pupil & teacher feedback
This project has been funded by The Royal Academy of Engineering, who are keen to see evidence of the impact their contribution has made.
Following the project, we also intend to compile a report containing insights from teachers and pupils together with a range of photos and videos showing what the children have been doing.
Feedback from pupils and teachers is vital for ensuring the sustainability of the Maker{futures} project and helps us provide evidence of its impact for future funding.
Many thanks
