| Theatre Group's Engineering Tour | ||||||
As part of the Walsall EBP, SRB 5 funded project aimed at encouraging youngsters to consider engineering as a positive career choice, CragRats Theatre group recently visited a number of Walsall primary schools. They delivered an engineering-related presentation to KS2 pupils followed immediately by workshops which gave the pupils the opportunity to design and make structures related to what they had seen. One of the CragRats' actors is pictured working with year 6 pupils on an engineering related activity. The feedback from both teachers and pupils was excellent.

Walsall EBP recently accessed DfES funding through the National EBP Network to deliver a number of 'Non-stereotypical Taster Visits for Girls'. As part of this project a group of year 10 girls from Shelfield Community School visited Bullock Construction, in Aldridge, and were able to visit the administration offices and one of the company's local building sites.
