Inspire your students to learn how to design ANYTHING by breaking complex products into simple components, in this 1 hour masterclass with a passionate STEM Ambassador!
The free masterclass is aimed at 12 to 18 year-olds in schools in the Bristol area, and will look at what engineering thinking is and how it links to design thinking.
The content supports the development of ‘top down’ thinking using systems engineering and modular design skills that engineers use to design complex products such as aircraft, trains and spacecraft.
The speaker will provide an accessible introduction to the topic of structured problem solving by creating simple systems diagrams of world beating products such as Concorde, the world’s first and most successful supersonic passenger airliner.
The masterclass is broken down into:
Each section examines an element of engineering attempting to define it and outline any key skills or key points.
Reflective thinking tasks are provided along with useful links for further investigation in class, including the use of a free product design software tool to create a systems diagram of a mobile phone.

Being part of the Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire Careers Hub has been pivotal to the development of careers provision in our school. The Hub have shared good practice across their members resulting in a stronger focus on good quality provision. The annual event enabled the hub to share their vision of School Improvement Through The Lens of Careers and looking beyond the Benchmarks. It was a fantastic opportunity to share different models of school improvement and strategies to further develop careers provision to enhance the future opportunities of our young people.
Mrs A Spencer, John Taylor High SchoolIt it superb to be able to speak with local schools, colleges, and businesses in Stoke and Staffs and show how important the partnerships are to bring the skills of the future. Educating those who educate the ones shaping the aspirations of young people is essential for the industry to grow and be more sustainable.”
