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
