DIARY DATE!!! - Celebration of Engineering 2010
The 2010 Celebration of Engineering & SCience will be held on Friday 11 June 2010, Crowne Plaza Hotel and Glasgow Science Centre.
 

...one of my children said - "I have just liked every part of the day even if we don't win any prizes. It has been brilliant!" This is the first year at the Celebration of Engineering, having only started a club in January. I thought that we would be completely out of our depth but it didn't matter. We had a wonderful day and we learned much. The organisation was superb.  The children were totally engaged from start to finish, using and developing a huge variety of skills within the four capacities of the Curriculum for Exellence.  And most of all, we had such fun!
