This primary school in Loftus love the Lottie Books – check them out at Lottie – Engineering Together
Wilton Primary love the Lottie Books
Wilton Primary love books !
They were super excited to read about Lottie’s adventures with Paula and made plans to read the others after Paula’s visit.
Oakdene asked some wonderful questions
The Oakdene students did some fantastic reading of the Lottie Books. We also chatted in the classrooms about Lottie’s visit to Paula and her work as a Civil Engineer.
In an all school assembly the students of asked some brilliant questions about looking after (maintaining) a major road. One of the great questions was ‘do engineers help people’ and the answer was of course yes!
Jess added a blog for those interested in tech
Check out the new resources on our Fun at Home (or anywhere!) – Engineering Together page from Jessica.
Jessica thinks this guide for women looking to begin their career in programming would make a perfect addition to that page! She said ‘its a great article about the gender gap in tech, why programming is a great career choice, tips for breaking into the industry and a collection of external resources to help women on their journey to becoming a programmer.’
