The Imagineering Foundation is a British charity organisation that encourages schoolchildren aged 8–16 to engage with engineering.
History
Шаблон:Original research section It was formed in 1999 by a group of Midlands engineers who were concerned about a perceived lowering of interest in engineering activities by schoolchildren, leading to a skills shortage in the STEM subjects. It was launched as an educational charity on 31 July 2001.
The website was developed in 2004, with educational material for the clubs.
Structure
It is based in Warwickshire. It also has a substantial online presence with a website built so tutors can access project material.[1]
Function
Clubs
It currently organizes 147 engineering clubs mostly in England, but with two in Wales and five in Scotland. Most of the clubs are in the West Midlands, and to a lesser extent in the East Midlands (Northamptonshire). Each week, around 1800 children take part in the clubs.
It publishes a magazine called The Imagineer.
Fairs
It hosts children's engineering fairs at the Royal Bath and West Show, the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, and the International Air Day at RNAS Yeovilton. These events are often attended by people (parents) already interested in engineering - the organization's target audience.
