Engineering @ RYAG

RYAG and the WEA are to pilot a new introduction to engineer programme for young people in Rhyl.
The six week programme culminating in a weekend residential at the WEA Coleg Harlech campus will involve basic skills training alongside a fun introduction to engineering. Those involved will participate in bridge building from scrap wood, designing and creating miniature buildings from paper and office supplies, designing and assembling egg throwing machines, writing and running basic software and using digital media and web development software to monitoring , evaluate and display their work.
It’s hoped the programme will encourage young people to become energised about engineering, science and mathematics when returning to school or informal education.
The pilot will be run for 30 young people who are involved in other RYAG programmes on a voluntary basis.
