 \n\nDescription : In order to enthuse the next generation\, engineers are 
 sought to run a fun engineering activity in a primary school of their choi
 ce. The electric fan boats activity was developed by IMechE Fellow and STE
 M educator Caroline Alliston (see www.technologyforfun.co.uk). \n\nPupils 
 will design\, build and test their models\, whilst applying their understa
 nding of electricity\, forces and materials from the primary curriculum. H
 ere is a quote from a head teacher: &ldquo\;Absolutely brilliant!&nbsp\;Th
 e children's squeals of delight when they launched their boats was a momen
 t not to be missed. The children said they had 'the best day ever'. &nbsp\
 ;They were talking about streamlining and modifying their models and were 
 obviously gripped by the experience.&rdquo\; \n\nDuring the training sessi
 on engineers get to design\, build and test their own fan boat and learn h
 ow to conduct the activity in class. Class packs are provided for up to 30
  children to construct boats\, working in pairs. Volunteers will be accomp
 anied by a teacher at all times and will not be expected to control a clas
 s on their own!\n\nPlease see more details on the poster.\n\nTo contact Ca
