Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland

Young Engineers Clubs offer an opportunity for pupils to experience the rewards and challenges of a career in science, engineering and technology.

Learning objectives

The Clubs are aimed at Primary and Secondary school pupils who are curious about science, engineering and technology. They adopt a very hands-on approach to projects in electrical, electronic, mechanical, robotics and civil engineering and technology.

Pupils get the opportunity to test their problem-solving skills in a team environment, so that everyone contributes to the project. The majority of clubs start up after the October break, running either at lunchtimes or as an after-school activity.

Benefits

• Pupils develop creative and innovative skills working alongside real engineers.
• Clubs are invited to compete for the 'Young Engineers Club of the Year' title at the annual Showcase and Technology Challenge Event.
• Industrial visits are encouraged during the club session.
• Girls are positively encouraged to become members.
• All club members receive a 'Certificate of Participation'.

The network has over 280 science, engineering and technology clubs throughout Scotland, with a membership of more than 4,000 girls and boys participating in the Clubs.
