Volunteer Opportunities
The Royal Academy of Engineers have funded a project with 93 primary schools in Greater Manchester (including 19 primary schools across Salford) to raise aspirations and enthusiasm for engineering. All the schools will be receiving a kit to build FM radios with one of their classes. We would like to provide the children with the opportunity to meet someone who works/worked or has an interest in engineering (any discipline), sound, technology or electricity.
We are looking for volunteers who would be able to visit one of the project schools and be part of a Q+A session with a class. The children will be aged between 7-10 years old (each school have selected a different age group) and will be very excited to be able to meet someone with a passion for engineering. We are looking for the visit to the school to happen between March and April 2020 on a mutually convenient date for you and the school.

If you have worked or are working in any field of Engineering, or have a passion for Engineering we'd love to hear from you! We would like you to take part in a question and answer session with children aged 7-10 years old. The Q+A session would last around 30 minutes and we will provide you with some questions in advance, however we will be suggesting that the children prepare a few questions to ask you before you arrive. There wouldn’t be very much preparation before visiting the school, but if you have a few images or some objects that related to your area of engineering that you could bring in it would really spark the children’s curiosity and their questions.
