Calvin Asks: How can I keep my daughter inspired in engineering subjects?

CalvinTheEngineer
My daughter is 11 and loves all things STEM! However they don’t do a lot of science at school and I want to make sure she stays interested in the subject.


I am clueless about engineering and I was hoping to get some advice about interesting activities to inspire her.


I'm a single mum and money is tight, so big expensive things are out – any suggestions on what I can do?


Looking for inspiration - Brighton

 
Need advice but  too shy to ask? Have a question of a ‘sensitive’ nature and would prefer to remain anonymous? Need to get something off your chest but worried about the boss (or your colleagues) finding out? Then ‘Ask Calvin’ !  

Submit your questions confidentially to AskCalvin@theiet.org and Calvin will ask the community on your behalf to give you the anonymity you want to find the advice you need.

    I agree with most people that looking out for interactive events aimed at that age is the way to go.  The Glasgow Science Centre is amazing, do lots of activities and  also events like this:  Curiosity Live


    This event showcases talent, research, innovation and creativity. You can go along and participate in research that's happening now, right on our doorstep with people who are carrying out ground-breaking work in their specialisms of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.


    This can showcases areas of research that may engage with kids.


    Sign up for social media blogs/postings for STEM focused activities in your area.


    Also, get involved as kids will follow your lead if you are taking part and enjoying learning with them.
