The Smallpeice Trust is an educational charity which promotes engineering, design and technology to young people. This year, the Smallpeice Trust will reach out to over 16,000 young people through residential courses and in-school Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Days.

Residential Courses

Based at the country’s leading universities and other secure venues these 4-day courses provide Year 9-12 students with the opportunity to find out more about engineering. From Marine Technology to Low Carbon Energy Challenge, these courses all offer young people the opportunity to change theory into reality whilst connecting with industry professionals and technical specialists.

In-school STEM Days

STEM days are for students in Years 6-11 and are especially popular in Year 8 and 9. Groups of 50 students work together in small teams on ‘design and make’ projects to improve their creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The activities are varied and range from designing, testing, and refining motorcars powered by super-capacitors to propelled gliders, wind turbines, and bridges.

Becoming a Smallpeice Supervisor on residential courses

The Smallpeice Trust is always on the lookout for enthusiastic teachers to become residential supervisors to support students on the course. The work is particularly suited to those with some knowledge of education, design technology or engineering. Main duties include working with a team of students throughout the course, supporting learning, monitoring progress, and encouraging full participation.
