Project Officer – STEM at Sea
The Tall Ship Glenlee Trust is looking for an Project Officer to support Sail the Future: STEM at Sea
Sail the Future: STEM at Sea
Will be a dynamic learning and engagement programme centred on the historic Tall Ship Glenlee in Glasgow.
We will use the ship’s heritage as a springboard to inspire young people with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills, while connecting these to the modern maritime sector’s transition to renewable energy.
The programme will empower students from local schools in Govan and Partick to co-design and test new STEM workshops, ensuring that young people themselves help shape how engineering is represented and taught onboard.
These workshops will then become a lasting resource for other schools and visiting groups to enjoy, enriching the ship as a cultural and educational attraction.
With funding from the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Ingenious Fund, students from four local primary schools will co-produce a series of STEM workshops with professional engineers.
Development
- Plan and develop a half-day training session for the engineers involved in the project. Training will cover the history of Glenlee, safeguarding expectations, inclusive communication techniques and active learning strategies.
- Develop three 60-minute co-development sessions for each participating school, incorporating the expertise and input of the engineers.
- Develop four fully resourced workshops, including all required equipment, workshop outlines and Curriculum for Excellence learning outcomes, ready to be promoted and delivered as part of the Learning Programme from August 2027.
Delivery
- Deliver a half-day training session for the engineers involved in the project.
- Lead three 60-minute co-development sessions with each of the four participating schools. Sessions will involve testing ideas, exploring and shaping themes, and prototyping activities. Students will actively influence the content and format of the workshops, working alongside engineers to ensure technical accuracy and authenticity.
- Lead and/or observe the four pilot workshops, gathering feedback and making any necessary adjustments to the content, activities and delivery approach.
