About the XYZ
In Engineering Play: Activity Design for Pre-School Innovators, Heriot-Watt University, and Nurture the Play worked with 20 engineers to design and deliver activities communicating engineering concepts to pre-schoolers and their families through play. Engineers gained skills in working with early years audiences, developing their knowledge of learning through play and gaining expertise in engagement with low-science capital families via both online and face-to-face interactions.
This project utilised play to engage pre-school children with engineering, combining songs and stories with specific toys and hands-on challenges/activities, covering a diverse range of less-traditional engineering topics. With the help of 20 selected families, a range of developed resources were trialled to improve activities and evaluate the most successful approaches to build science/engineering capital for families with pre-school children living in areas of multiple deprivation in Edinburgh.
