Welcome to the Expansive Education Network
Project Conference 9th July 2015
Congratulations are due to all the teachers who took part in a conference to celebrate the outcomes from a successful first year of the project, which were disseminated at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London in July. Teachers from the Thinking like an Engineer project joined in a celebratory day with those from Manchester who had participated in the Tinker Tailor Robot Pi project. We heard from teachers who had incorporated EHoM into their teaching and welcomed those who have joined the project in the autumn for the second year.
We had some very positive feedback from Dr Rhys Morgan, Director of Engineering and Education at the Academy and we were honoured to have in the audience Sir John Perkins, who wrote the Review of Engineering Skills report (2013), and Sir Robert Malpas, former co-chairman of Eurotunnel, who awards an annual bursary through the Academy to promote engineering education.

The Tinker Tailor Robot Pi video of the event, seen through the eyes of the Manchester teachers, demonstrates just how creative and innovative children can be when they engage in ‘tinkology’ and ‘think like an engineer’.
