Let’s celebrate National Inventors Month! Are your children interested in engineering? Club Hub have put together a fantastic list of the “Best Engineering Kids Clubs in the UK”. Please do take a look at their websites and everything they have to offer for your child.
Inventors & Makers aims to make engineering accessible to children and teachers in primary schools.
Inventors & Makers was set up in 2019 by Laura Cross, a former primary teacher with experience in education technology. It was during Laura’s time working in technology in California that she started to think more about the skills today’s children need for the ever-changing world ahead of them.
On returning to the UK, she noticed the lack of time given to engineering in schools and set to work putting together Inventors & Makers engineering clubs.
The clubs run online and can be used in schools and at home to give all children the chance to learn about engineering and gain experience of practical challenges. Every session includes a progressive teaching element followed by hands-on application of the concepts as children investigate, create and problem solve.
“one of the guiding principles behind the clubs is that every challenge should allow children to develop problem-solving, creativity and collaboration skills.”
These skills are widely acknowledged to be crucial to guarantee children’s future success and it’s clear that the clubs have been designed by an experienced and expert teacher.
Unlike some engineering clubs, Inventors & Makers leaves the gimmicks behind and strips engineering back to its basic elements. The clubs centre around themed engineering challenges, using basic and accessible resources, that link engineering to the science behind it.
For example in Boats week, the concepts of upthrust and water displacement are introduced as children investigate with foil boats and then use a selection of simple resources to build the strongest boat.
While Inventors & Makers also offers Video Game Design and App Design clubs and workshops, it is these practical engineering clubs that really set them apart from others in terms of both the content and the learning outcomes for children.

Science Whiz is a live, interactive, extracurricular science club for kids at Key Stages 2 and 3 that supports and expands on the science taught in school. A Science Whiz session is £6 from anywhere in the World and can be joined from home. All you need is access to the Zoom meeting and the basic kitchen-cupboard items that Science Whiz lists out for you. Sessions are currently on Thursday evenings and on Saturdays at midday.
Science Whiz is run online on Zoom by Radha, a passionate professional with a degree in science and with over sixteen years of expertise in the science industry. From leading numerous drug discovery projects, searching for treatments to cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, Radha is now focusing on educating children. Radha strives to encourage kids to love and embrace science, giving them the support and confidence to tackle Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 challenges.Radha has experience working with children in many different settings and is fully DBS checked.
Science Whiz’s mission is to:
Science Whiz strives to create a love for science, helps gain self-confidence and fosters a new appreciation for the world around your child!
Science Whiz covers engineering topics where we make our own trickling water fountains and awesome toy cars that zoom across the floor. However, importantly, we balance the physics and engineering out with other equally important biology and chemistry sessions where experiments are colourful, messy and fun.

At the heart of Young Engineers Warwick is a passion and commitment to building not only STEM knowledge and understanding but building resilience and emotional wellbeing of children and young people.
I am really passionate about empowering the next generation with the skills they need to thrive. The programmes are based on a holistic educational approach, made to engage and develop thoughts, feelings and experiences. The unique methods I incorporate are stories, experiments, demonstrations and hands-on investigations that are specially designed to deliver a multi-sensory experience.
Not only do I teach mechanical engineering principles and physics concepts but I place skills for life, learning and work at the heart of it’s design. I truly believe our young people need a balance between traditional subjects and modern learning. They need to learn skills that they can apply in their future careers and life, we need to link their classroom experiences to those in the workplace and help them develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, organisation and management.
Young Engineers programmes are ideally placed to support the development of these life skills in a fun, engaging and memorable way. Classes enrich the experiences of learners in a stimulating environment helping children develop confidence in their learning. Opportunities exist to deliver an interdisciplinary learning experience combining technical understanding, entrepreneurial thinking, responsibility and leadership across all key stages.
