A engineering visit had been set in
Coventry University at 31st of July 2012 to 2nd of August
2012 which had been set by The Smallpeice Trust. Dr
Cosby D P Smallpeice - a brilliant, self-taught engineer who invented the
Smallpeice Lathe and founded Martonair Ltd. to specialise in pneumatic
equipment for the machine tool industry - founded the Trust.
After the flotation of Martonair, Dr Smallpeice put his energy and £1.6m
of his personal fortune to set up The Smallpeice Trust in 1966 to encourage
youngsters to take a career in engineering.
A lot of people all around Coventry in Leamington, Kenilworth, Hillfields
and Foleshill had attended.
The views of the people who had attended were all positive. Here two of
the view of the children who attended;
Anmol Arora from Newcastle Upon Lyne School: This course was really fun
and I enjoyed it and was a good experience for when we come to university.
Monazzam Khan from Sidney Stringer Academy: This course was really good
as we got to meet new people and share ideas and skills of engineering and we
had felt how it was for when we go university. Also the Smallpeice trusts have
been grateful for doing this and hope a lot of people attend this course
afterwards.
Monazzam Khan from Sidney Stringer Academy and his team The JLR6 had
made a car called the Discovery12. They had made the car the Discovery into a
better model so it would be more modern and had to think of how they could have
done it. Here is the car that they had made.
This is all from Monazzam Khan.
Thank you.
