About The Smallpeice Trust
At The Smallpeice Trust, we believe anything is possible when you know how. That’s why we’re here to give young people everything they need to fuel their passion for engineering, helping to make their big ideas a reality. All with the help of charities, parents, teachers, universities and corporate partners backing them all the way. In response to COVID-19, The Smallpeice Trust has developed Engineering@Home, a programme of fun exploratory STEM Projects for Primary aged students mapped to the National Curriculum. Through our partnership with The Tim Henman Foundation Online, each week you will be able to access the Trust’s latest Engineering@Home STEM Project designed to bring STEM subjects to life. Each Maker project will take one hour to complete, and if you complete all 8 projects, students will be able to access a British Science Association CREST Super Star Award.
