Young innovators take part in Primary Engineer programme in partnership with Schneider Electric
05 August 2019
Primary school pupils from ten schools across the Coventry and Warwick area took part in a celebration event and competition hosted by Schneider Electric and Primary Engineer, to showcase the results of their hands-on experience of designing, building and styling their own electric vehicle.

With funding from Schneider Electric, teachers from the local schools attended a training session at the Coventry offices and were paired with Schneider Electric engineers to learn how to deliver the school-based STEM activities. Each school was provided with comprehensive lesson plans and resources to construct 8 vehicles per school. The Schneider Electric engineers visited the schools throughout the programme to provide pupils with support and to promote careers in engineering.
The winning teams were chosen based on the vehicle’s performance in the testing stage, its build quality, its design and control as well as awards for best design and best communicators. The winning teams will be awarded certificates and medals, with a comprehensive on-going support package from Schneider Electric.
