Casting the Future aims to provide resources that can be used to help teach casting as part of your science or design & technology curriculum.
The casting process uses maths, physics and chemistry to help design and manufacture the components that we need in everyday life and is part of the engineering and manufacturing industry.
We make many of the metals parts used in cars, planes and trains, so bring your lessons to life with real world examples taken from the castings industry.
Resources include:
- Classroom kit to demonstrate the casting process in primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities – includes all the kit you need for a demo in the classroom – no need for special laboratories.
- Resources for teachers and lecturers – scalable for one lesson or longer term design projects and using safe, low melting point metal alloy. Safety kit included.
- A qualified teacher coming to your school to take a lesson or organise an activity (chargeable at supply teacher rates).
- Help to find a foundry local to you that will work with you on educational or community based projects.
- Speakers from industry to tell your students about the casting & foundry industry.
- Careers and employability information for those interested in a career in engineering.
