Young Engineers have all sorts of ideas. Join them as they create...

Young children love engineering; they enjoy creating and building their worlds. Young Engineers explores the natural links between play and engineering to facilitate early engineering engagement. Through familiar play-based scenarios it introduces children to the work of engineers and things that engineers make. The colourful illustrations and rhyming text give engineering context and meaning and bring the worlds of young and older engineers closer together.

'The world is a playground for young engineers, And, young engineers have all sorts of ideas. They dream and they draw, they design and create, They always have things to improve or to make.'Young Engineers provides examples of engineering across a wide range of disciplines and provides some information about them. Together with its additional supporting material it is designed to encourage children to experience and enjoy engineering: to dream, draw, design and create.
