SCHOOLS
CHILDREN LEARN THROUGH CURIOSITY
Brimming with creativity, children have a natural curiosity for getting to the bottom of how things work. With a little encouragement and the right resources, children can begin to understand the excitement of creative problem-solving.
By encouraging children to be hands-on and practical, we can show them how rewarding a future in engineering can really be.
RESOURCES
FREE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
Our free resources enable teachers and parents to deliver engaging engineering curriculums and activities, both in the classroom and at home.
WORKSHOPS
DELIVERING WORKSHOPS IN SCHOOLS
Our workshops get students thinking practically and give them an opportunity to learn about engineering in practice.
"The James Dyson Foundation workshops provide an environment where students can take risks, challenge old ideas and prototype real solutions".
Rethinking education
Enabling project-based learning
We believe in an engineering curriculum which is based on an iterative design process and project-based learning. Since 2015, we have donated more than $300,000 worth of engineering tools and prototyping materials for classroom use along with donations to support student projects across the US, Canada and Mexico to encourage students to work in teams on a design brief, to prototype, and iteratively test and redesign their inventions.
"Design and Technology (D&T) should be as riveting and relevant as the career it channels into. Logical, creative and practical, it's the only opportunity that school students have to apply what they learn in mathematics and science - directly preparing them for a future in engineering".
