Engineering Discovery
Primary School 8th grade - Secondary School 1st and 2nd grade

Opportunities to explore and discover

Students build awareness about what engineers do through a variety of short, exploratory sessions led or supported by GE Aerospace engineers. These creative, hands-on activities in the classroom or community inspire young people and expand their understanding of what engineering is all about. Engineering Discovery will begin in Warsaw with two workshops lasting about 60-90 minutes per selected school in the second semester of the 2024/2025 school year.

School teachers or administrators: please complete the Interest Form if you are interested in hosting Engineering Discovery activities at your school. Perspektywy Education Foundation will follow up with you to discuss more. We are currently booking schools for Engineering Discovery for January through June 2026. Schools not selected for this time will be placed on a waiting list for future consideration. Please contact nextengineers@perspektywy.pl if you have any questions.
