The P3a vehicles are taking shape πŸš—βš™οΈ Today’s build involved chamfering axles, inserting spacers, and aligning wheels β€” turning separate parts into something that finally moves. That first smooth roll is always exciting πŸ”§βœ¨ #STEM #Engineering @CorpusChristi_K @primaryengineer

Year 5 pupils have been testing the electric vehicles they constructed in DT at the Primary Engineer showcase event. They explained design choices and improvements to South Eastern rail engineers and have been excellent ambassadors for the school @BWPrimary @primaryengineer

Derby has always known a thing or two about building trains. Great to see the next generation doing just that with Primary Engineer and Rail Forum, as local pupils built, tested and problem-solved together while learning where STEM skills can take them.

8 of our year 6s went to the Rep in Birmingham to attend the Primary Engineer Celebration event with Titanic, Bunnykins and Puddle Duck. Everyone had lots of fun demonstrating their vehicles and being interviewed by engineers. Team Titanic won theme engineers. Congratulations!

Primary 3 were busy with the next step of their vehicles this week - using specific measuring techniques, we used hand saws to saw dowels that will eventually be where we attach the wheels! #STEM @primaryengineer

Great afternoon at the @primaryengineer competition yesterday. In school, over the past few weeks, we used our DT & STEM skills to make two types of model trains πŸš‚ We had winners with the Mini Eggspress (best theme) and The Pink Sparkly Glittery Girly Train (best communicators)
