Join us at the King’s Engineering for Teachers conference for an afternoon of exciting speakers, discussions and hands-on workshops.

This in-person event in central London is open to STEM teachers from London and beyond interested in engineering education. This is an opportunity to discover what engineering is, what career paths it opens up, how to bring engineering into the classroom, and also learn from academic staff from the Engineering department here at King's.

If the conference is over-subscribed, we will prioritise places to STEM teachers at schools that meet the following criteria:
• State secondary school or college
• Non-selective secondary school, or sixth form college
• Higher proportion of students eligible for Free School Meals

Applications are now open. Register to this event here by Sunday March 9.

We will offer places by Wed March 12, and you will have until Fri March 28 to confirm your attendance. Any places not confirmed by this date will be offered to the waiting list.
