Inspiring stories about school projects that make a difference. Three science and engineering professionals volunteer their time and expertise to work alongside teachers at the Royal Kent School in Surrey. Organised through the SETPOINT charity in Surrey, their aim is to introduce pupils to the world of engineering, raise attainment in science and technology and hopefully inspire some pupils to take up engineering as a career. The ambassadors all enjoy their classroom experience once they have faced the first encounter which, for one, was like your worst boardroom meeting. The double act is an inspirational experience for both the teachers and the children. The lessons are hands-on and fun for the pupils meaning they retain the ambassadors' information. Topics covered include reflection and refraction experiments with Year 3, building, firing and testing water rockets with Year 6 and making and racing land yachts with Year 4.
