First you need to identify a group of students who would enjoy a challenge They could all be from the same age group or from a range of age-groups – though experience has shown that one age group is easier to manage at the start.  Many of our long established clubs have a wide age range, which gives the club the added benefits of older students mentoring the younger ones. So although more of a handful to start with, it is worth aspiring to a membership with a wide age-range.

We suggest you limit yourself to a maximum of 10/12 or so students to start with, as in the early stages, they will need a lot of help and attention.

Choose a suitable time to hold your club (one/two hours once a week – or during lunch times). Your club might operate in one or two terms only, or all year.

Inform your Senior management of what you want to do.

Complete the online “Registration Form” and send to Jane Martin, Project Manager, Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland. The start-up funding of £100 for your club will then be processed.
