 Welcome to IMAGINEERING, introducing 8-16 year olds to the fascinating world of engineering, originated and run by the education charity, the IMAGINEERING Foundation which is staffed by committed volunteers with engineering knowledge. It provides fun, hands-on activities, lets children find out how things work and how they are made, and allows them to meet real engineers and find out what they do.
The Imagineering Foundation organises three annual IMAGINEERING FAIRS, one at the Ricoh Arena Coventry, another at the Royal Bath & West Show in Shepton Mallet, and the third at the at The Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford near Cirencester, attracting over 70,000 visitors each year.
Building on the success of the Fairs and to provide more sustained engagement for young people the Imagineering Foundation has developed other activities notably Imagineering Clubs (85 running so far). Voluntary engineers [often retired] work with schools over 3 terms building models and having fun in the process.
The Foundation works hand-in-hand with professional organisations and companies, and Imagineering dovetails neatly with educational initiatives promoting engineering skills.
This IMAGINEERINGWEB site complements these activities by providing on-line information to help Schools, volunteer Tutors and Companies to get involved with running an Imagineering Junior Engineering Club as well as servicing the needs of the volunteer Club Tutors who are engineers through an extensive Tutor Resource centre and Forum.
