Who is The Smallpeice Trust? An independent educational charity promoting worthwhile careers in Engineering, Design, Technology, Science & Mathematics to young people nationwide Founded 47 years ago by Dr Cosby Smallpeice −Pioneering engineer and inventor −Founded Martonair which specialised in pneumatic equipment Dr Cosby Smallpeice was aware of the growing skills gap in engineering and wanted to demonstrate to young people just how beneficial and rewarding a career in engineering can be

Our aim is to: Enhance perceptions of engineering as a worthwhile and dynamic career, and its importance with regard to sustainability, the environment, and low carbon technology. Give year olds an understanding of the career opportunities within engineering Develop your skills and knowledge of engineering

Residential Courses 3-5 day residential courses at universities and other inspiring venues Designed for students in Years 8 to 12 Practical projects working with real-life engineers Take place around the Easter and summer holidays 38 courses covering subjects such as biochemical engineering, marine technology, motorsports engineering, naval architecture and supercomputing
