University of Leeds – Hands on fun with an Engineering Foster Family Learning Session

HEART is delighted that our partner, University of Leeds, is offering a Foster Family Learning Day specifically designed for the whole foster family.

Families are invited to sign up for a free two hour workshop, suitable for all ages, of a variety of hands on engineering activities. Taking place at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Leeds, families will get to learn about the engineering process with practical activities including making your own gabion basket (an international product manufactured here in Leeds), building a pyramid, trying out some basic electronics and trying to work out what the engineering examples are.

Please meet inside the School of Civil Engineering foyer for 12:45

Booking is essential, as the numbers we can accommodate are limited.
