Primary engineer is a not for profit organisation that offer schools a way to deliver Mathematics and science to design technology activities. These are mapped to the curriculum and designed to inspire and enthuse and the purpose of the talk is to further bring together the Institution with young people interested in a career in lighting. Working closely with industry, major companies and institutions such as Scottish Engineering, institution of Mechanical Engineers and the University of Strathclyde. The initiative has progressed at a pace with councils looking to extend engagement with schools. We have long held the belief that engineering should be part of the school curriculum. Now is our chance to be part of that strategy. A talk by Steve Anderson, Philips WRTL Lighting
