Free STEAM & Digital Skills Opportunity for Years 4-6 This is Engineering Project!

# data[].attributes.body
The Torfaen Aspirations Team would like to share an exciting opportunity for primary schools to engage pupils in engineering, digital skills, coding and online safety through This is Engineering, a programme developed in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering and delivered across Wales.

Designed for learners aged 8–11 years, the project is centred around a fun, spy-themed challenge where pupils are tasked with designing a secure messaging system that cannot be cracked through five engaging lessons!

The programme provides an excellent opportunity to support the Curriculum for Wales by developing learners' digital competence, creativity, communication and STEM skills, whilst helping them understand the importance of staying safe online.

To support delivery, participating schools will receive a £250 voucher to contribute towards resources and supplies associated with the project.

In addition, Ogi representatives can attend micro bit sessions to support schools where required, helping to enhance the learning experience and provide industry insight.

We believe this is a fantastic opportunity to inspire learners, develop digital confidence and introduce them to future career pathways within engineering and technology.

As places are limited, participation will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The programme is due to begin in October/November for the Torfaen area with a maximum of 2–4 schools able to participate each term. If your school is interested in taking part, please email aspirations@torfaen.gov.uk for further information

ExperiMENTAL Science STEM Workshops

Mission to Mars Workshop (including Engineering Egg Drop Challenge)

Radical Rockets Workshop and Rocket Launch

The session inspired learners through hands-on STEM experiences linked to real-world space exploration and engineering challenges. The workshops developed scientific understanding, problem-solving skills, creativity, teamwork and resilience while raising aspirations towards careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Pupils were able to draw on knowledge and skills gained throughout the year from science and technology lessons and demonstrate progression in their skills by developing the models they designed to perform better.

Pupils were engaged throughout all activities, and pupils gained an insight into modern new technologies and how they are supported with real-life experiences in space. Pupils gained insight into working in groups and outside of their normal classroom experience, which allowed pupils to progress in practical hands-on activities.

Impact / Outcomes

The programme successfully engaged all Year 7 and Year 8 pupils in practical STEM learning experiences that developed curiosity, problem-solving skills, teamwork and resilience. Through active participation in real-world engineering and scientific challenges, pupils were encouraged to think creatively, apply theoretical knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of STEM concepts.

The Mission to Mars Workshop challenged pupils to consider the complex problems associated with space exploration and planetary survival. Working collaboratively, pupils investigated engineering solutions and explored how science and technology are used to support human life beyond Earth. The accompanying Engineering Egg Drop Challenge required pupils to design, test and refine protective structures, promoting critical thinking, innovation and iterative design processes. Pupils demonstrated perseverance and adaptability as they evaluated the effectiveness of their designs and made improvements based on testing outcomes……then the testing really got competitive!

The Radical Rockets Workshop and Rocket Launch provided a highly engaging context for learning about forces. Pupils applied scientific principles to the design and launch of rockets, gaining a practical understanding of key physics concepts. The excitement generated by the live rocket launches outside using water captured pupils' interest and encouraged active participation from learners of all abilities. The workshop fostered collaboration and communication.

Across both activities, pupils showed high levels of enthusiasm, engagement and motivation. The workshops provided valuable opportunities to develop essential skills including teamwork, problem-solving, communication, creativity and resilience, all of which support the development of successful learners and ambitious future citizens. The activities also helped raise aspirations by exposing pupils to STEAM-related careers and demonstrating the relevance of science and engineering in addressing real-world challenges.

The programme successfully strengthened pupils' understanding of STEAM concepts whilst promoting enjoyment, curiosity and a positive attitude towards learning.

Year 5 pupils have been exploring a ‘weird and wonderful’ theme this term. We used ExperiMental last year and really wanted to give this year group the same experience, as the workshop was fantastic.

50 pupils altogether over two classes.

Pupils partook in 2 workshops (potions and the science of sweets)

- Pupils were asked various questions throughout, probing names for equipment and components.

- Pupils created balancing owls and wands inspired by Harry Potter, before filling mini cauldrons with a fizzing potion. Pupils then created rainbow potions and discovered how to make substances change colour.

- During the science of sweets pupils created lots of edible treats. They mixed sherbet, created rainbow test tubes and blackcurrant and glow in the dark jelly worms. They were also invited to use torches and blankets to watch how they glow in the dark.

- Everything had a story or whimsical twist to it, from pretending baking soda was crushed bones to fairy liquid as snake poison.

This workshop was fantastic in itself simply because it was developed and run by a Science teacher and her team, bringing the knowledge, deepening scientific enquiry and exposing our pupils to resources and equipment that we don’t always have to hand within a school. It supported pupil progression in exposing them to new equipment, components, reactions and substances that they may not usually gain experience with. Furthering STEAM-based activities is something we wish to integrate more into our classroom, but sometimes resources are limited; ExperiMENTAL brings it all together. Pupils also had a lot of fun!

Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant

# data[].attributes.subject
Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant

# data[].attributes.body
The Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant supports schools and youth organisations with the costs of providing enriching trips and learning experiences for young people aged 11–25.

Eligible organisations participating in the Achievement Award Scheme can apply for two grants per calendar year, with a contribution of up to £20 per young person (to a maximum £1,200 grant value per application).

Please note that Uniformed Groups are not currently eligible for this grant.

Background

Since its launch in 2009, the Educational Visits and Learning Experiences programme has enabled thousands of young people to take part in memorable, inspiring visits – from theatre and university trips to nature-based adventures, galleries, museums, history tours – and so much more!

For many young people, these opportunities offer the chance to explore new places for the very first time.

At the Jack Petchey Foundation, we believe every young person should have the chance to learn beyond their immediate surroundings. Sir Jack often spoke about the value of “getting young people out and about” – encouraging them to experience things they may never otherwise see, whether that’s visiting the seaside, discovering wildlife, or taking part in activities that spark curiosity and ambition. These experiences directly support our mission to ensure young people across London and Essex can broaden their horizons and fulfil their potential.

Over the years, we are always inspired by the feedback we receive from teachers, youth leaders and volunteers who describe these trips as eye-opening, exciting and for some of their young people, totally transformative. The reports you share talk about how your young people have gained confidence, learnt new things, and seen the world from a fresh perspective. We are deeply grateful to all the adult staff and volunteers who generously give the time, energy and planning in to make these opportunities possible.

Hear from James Burns, Grants Officer and Lead for the Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant, about why the programme matters.

What our Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant can fund

The Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant supports a wide range of inspiring, curriculum-enhancing and confidence-building opportunities for young people. These experiences should give young people the chance to learn, grow, explore and develop new skills – whether through culture, nature, sport, creativity, teamwork – or by facing a personal challenge.

The grant supports the costs of tickets, transport and accommodation for eligible educational trips and learning experiences across the UK, including singled-day trips and residential visits.

The Educational Visits and Learning Experiences Grant supports trips and visits which are designed to help young people:

Access new environments and experiences

Build teamwork, leadership and resilience

Connect with culture, nature and their community

Grow in confidence, independence and aspiration

Discover interests and opportunities they may not encounter otherwise

You can find out more in the Frequently Asked Questions, which include further examples of eligible activities.

Catrin Rees - Sixth Form Teacher

"EESW STEM Cymru Sixth Form Project, we have competed over the last three years and were keen to compete again. In the past, our only cost has been transport, but since EESW lost its EU funding, it has had to introduce fees to cover the cost of running the event. Thanks to Torfaen Aspirations, they made this happen!

We initially had 12 pupils (2 teams of 6); this was reduced to 1 team of 5 as interest waned over the process. The remaining 5 were 3 boys, 2 girls.

We worked in conjunction with Amgueddfa Cymru Big Pit, and they were given a brief of devising a Pelton wheel that would allow the water in Coity Pond to travel through and generate electricity for the site.

They used the following skills: design, engineering, maths, physics, evaluation, communication, and teamwork.

They had a site visit at Big Pit and were allowed to go to the USW campus in Trefforest to use their facilities, e.g. CAD design and the 3D printing machine.

All of the students are striving for a future in STEM (F1, physics teacher, mechanical engineering…), and it was great for them to interact with so many STEM companies, lecturers, and to be able to hold discussions about their work.

Impact / Outcomes

It was a great success, the team scored above avareage from the judges and should be very proud of their achievement.

By taking part in the Sixth Form Project, they have earned the CREST Gold Certificate for teamwork. It is an industry-recognised accreditation which will look good on their CVs in the future or when they apply to University.

The final 5 who took part were brilliant, their knowledge and application of physics was admirable, and their enthusiasm was infectious."

Pontnewydd Primary Culture Dance Workshops

# data[].attributes.body
A huge shout out to Itara who brought culture and creativity through education and dance to Pontnewydd Primary School this week!

Mrs Rowland comments:

Our whole school theme this term is ‘We are the World’ in line with the current world cup. Each class has taken a country and we are studying the culture, music, art and fesitval traditions of that country. Through the musical theme, we are looking at the science of sound, how this affects how we play instruments and create songs. Using the art traditions of countries the children make and create items to wear for the festival such as, masks and head dresses. Finally, each class will perform a dance during the festival for parents and the community.

There were 98 children involved in the intervention, 35 of whom are eFSM and 14 have ALN.

Each of the four classes were involved in a music and dance workshop. These included one with a focu on Ghana, one for South Africa and two for Brazil. The children were taught traditional moves and music based upon that country and these were rehearsed and practised in the session. The skills developed were artistic and encompassed music and dance, rhythm, tempo and beat.

This intervention was important as it gave the children skills to improve their music and dance knowledge, their movement and artistic skills while learning about culture, creativity and diversity of our world in a fun and engaging way. It was also attuned to the stage of skill of the children. It was absolutely amazing. This will allow our children ti incorporate this into their summer carnival and use these skills to perform for an audience.

All children in every class enjoyed this experience. They had fun, were engaged throughout and all came away understanding story, music and dance from the culture they were studying.

The younger children learned through a traditional story. They then reaenacted this story through music, incorporating beat, traditional steps and of course the music. The older children learned more about the dance steps and music of Brazil, they created phrases of moves, which were then combined to create a whole dance. They discussed the steps that they knew from Brazil and the instructor ensured that these were placed into the dance.

All children increased in their skill and confidence to perform a cultural dance. This will benefit them when they perform in the whole school carnival.

Staff commented on the excellent behaviour of all of the children who took part. In fact, one of our children who has had significant trauma in his life and often refuses to take part in performance, ‘had the time of his life’ he engaged, was totally focused and didn’t miss a beat’ his teacher said.

It’s funny how work can take you in all sorts of directions. While my last post looked at the future with worry - today I got to spend the day with the next generation, and feel a lot more optimistic. Showing how fibre (light) travels using thousands of plastic straws, and asking AI to imagine what a world with a Winged Giraffe might look like have deffinatley made the week and interesting one for me. Forever greatful to colleagues and friends for agreeing to my bonkers ideas - Gemma Butland, Nirmani Fonseka, Hannah Murray, Lucinda Nicholls and Alexandra (Lex) Page, here’s looking at you! I think (can you ever tell?!) the class from Garnteg Primary School enjoyed themselves - but more importantly got to see that tech is a place for everyone.

Brilliant #handsonstem today @NantCelyn Primary School with #year 4. Real classroom mechanics and #engineering. Well done guys, Hope you enjoyed your go-kart day. Some great skills shown.

A total of 41 Year 4 pupils (23 on Day 1 and 18 on Day 2) took part in the intervention. The group represented a broad range of abilities, and the practical nature of the project ensured that all learners could participate meaningfully. School staff worked alongside the activity leader to ensure accessibility, model good teamwork and support children’s understanding of each stage of the process.

The intervention unfolded across three structured stages:

1. Construction Phase – Pupils followed instructions to build the chassis of their go-karts using wooden parts, wheels, axles, and joining materials. They followed a set of given written and pictorial instructions to assemble their go-karts.

2. Design & Aerodynamics Phase – Pupils created bodywork for their go-karts, applying knowledge of aerodynamics and streamlining. They experimented with shapes and materials to reduce air resistance.

3. Racing & Evaluation Phase – All pupils participated in a final race event, observing performance, comparing outcomes, and reflecting on how design choices affected speed and stability.

STEAM Skills Developed

Engineering Design — constructing, following detailed instructions, refining

Scientific Enquiry — predicting, testing, evaluating

Mathematical Reasoning — measuring, estimating, comparing

Digital Competence — researching designs, recording results, presenting findings

Creative Thinking — designing aerodynamic bodywork

Collaboration — communication, shared roles, problem-solving

Pupil Voice

Pupil voice provided valuable insight into the impact and enjoyment of the project. Learners expressed clear enthusiasm and recognised the breadth of skills they developed:

“It was very fun and educational because we learned a bit of history, Welsh, PE. We learnt engineering and it was very fun for all of us!”

“I think it was very fun because we got to learn how to use tools like spanners, nuts and bolts.”

“I think it was very good fun because we got to build the go-karts ourselves, decorate it and then race.”

And a particularly reflective comment highlighted the value of the experience:

“I feel like it was a really good experience. We are all kids and most of us wouldn't know how to make go-karts or have the materials to make go-karts. We learnt how to make them, how to handle sharp tools and we all worked together.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Yesterday we launched something really special - The first Her Place in Tech programme bringing together girls from across schools in Torfaen for a day designed to shift perceptions, spark ambition and open up futures in technology. Delivered in partnership with the Wales Women in STEM Network, University of South Wales and Torfaen County Borough Council, this programme is about more than just skills. It’s about helping girls see themselves as creators, innovators and future leaders in tech, not just users. Throughout the day, students got hands-on with everything from robotics and website design to science communication and real-world tech challenges. They heard from inspiring women working across the sector, explored different career pathways, and connected with employers shaping the future of tech in Wales. What stood out most? - The energy. The curiosity. The confidence growing in real time. A huge thank you to: 🤝 Our brilliant partners: Wales Women in STEM Network, University of South Wales, (Louise Bright, Joanne Bowring, Bethan Woods and Chris Wright) and Torfaen County Borough Council, (Kimberly Allen and Sam Lowe) for their collaboration and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for young people. ⭐️ The incredible girls who showed up, got stuck in, asked thoughtful questions and embraced every opportunity. ✨ Our fantastic role models, exhibitors and employers who brought the world of tech to life and shared their journeys so openly. Ogi, Sero, Hodge, Transport for Wales, Ian Matthews, Liz Cochlin, Campus-XR, Becky Holmes 🎥🎤, Science Made Simple, Khadijatul Kaba, Melanie Scott, Louise H., Faria Hossain Borna, FinTech Wales. This is just the beginning. Over the coming months, these girls will continue their journey, building skills, confidence and a clearer sense of where they belong in the world of tech. Because when girls can see it, they can be it. #HerPlaceInTech #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech

BBC Education delivers the BBC's public purpose to promote education and is central to fulfilling the BBC's mission to inform, educate and entertain.

We aim to transform lives through education by:

Providing every child in the UK with a personalised structured learning experience to maximise their individual attainment through BBC Bitesize

Supporting and inspiring classroom learning with world-class, curriculum-linked programming (currently delivered through BBC Teach)

Addressing societal and educational deficits within the UK by acting as a leader and convener of strategic partnerships aimed at effecting tangible change such as the BBC micro:bit campaign, BBC Terrific Scientific and Super Movers, an exciting partnership with the Premier League to inspire primary school children to get active

What we do
Providing a personalised structured learning experience
BBC Bitesize supports students with their studies outside the classroom, at home and on the go. It directly relates to the curriculum, supporting learners from reception through to taking school-leaving exams. BBC Bitesize also supports UK students with online resources offering careers inspiration and advice.

BBC Bitesize has been an invaluable support for young learners since 1998 and today supports the UK curricula in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales using a rich mix of written content, audio, video, infographics, interactive activities and guides. Today Bitesize is used by 80% of secondary school students in the UK with average unique browsers of 2.5 million each week in term time. It is a valued resource for students, with 80% of GCSE users agreeing that it made them feel more prepared for their exams.
Supporting and inspiring classroom learning
BBC Teach aims to support teachers by curating the best of BBC videos, BBC archive and other curriculum-related resources for use in the classroom.

BBC Teach has a dedicated teaching resource site including thousands of free curriculum-mapped short films for teachers, arranged by subject and age-group; audio for primary teachers from School Radio; and educational campaigns including Super Movers and Terrific Scientific.
Major educational campaigns
Launched in January 2018, Super Movers is an exciting initiative in partnership with the Premier League to inspire primary school children to become more active throughout their school day and enhance their learning.

In 2016, the BBC and its partners designed, manufactured and distributed up to 1 million BBC micro:bits free to every pupil in Year 7 in England and Wales, S1 in Scotland and Year 8 Northern Ireland. To ensure a long lasting legacy for this campaign we are supporting the micro:bit foundation by creating inspirational content for teachers and students using BBC brands.

Other campaigns include The Mind Set - the UK's first national peer-to-peer coaching network for GCSE and National students; and BBC Ten Pieces which is providing unique opportunities for children and young people to produce creative responses to classical music.

Information for Education resource providers

BBC Education is committed to strengthening its relationship with education resources companies in the commercial sector.

As well as opportunities to syndicate BBC Education content and link to other educational content from the BBC website, BBC Education holds regular industry events at which it shares information about its activities and plans.
Bitesize diversity and inclusion commissioning guidelines
BBC Bitesize has produced guidelines for all suppliers, setting out how we will work together to meet our ambitions for diversity and inclusion. Suppliers should consult these guidelines when responding to Bitesize commissioning briefs.
UK education sector briefings Syndication and fair trading
BBC Education permits some of its content to be syndicated on other non-BBC websites. Syndication is the term used by BBC Learning to indicate usage beyond personal use.

A selection of audio-visual clips for use in the classroom is available for syndication via embedding. Embedding allows these clips to appear in external websites (unlike a hyperlink which takes you from one webpage to another, embedding pulls content from a webpage or server and displays it on your page). Clips available for embedding will have an embed button displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the clip.

Use of BBC Education's syndicated content via embedding must comply with the BBC's terms and conditions. The business terms will apply for any useage beyond personal use. For further information contact: learning.industryfeedback@bbc.co.uk

More information on the BBC's Fair trading guidelines can be found here.
Links to non-BBC content
BBC Education will also consider including on the BBC's website links to other relevant curriculum content. Applications can be made via the BBC linking-out application form and will require agreement to the Linking-out terms and conditions. All application forms will be assessed by BBC Education's Policy and Public Affairs team and added to a database of links for use by the BBC Education editorial teams.
