'Imagineering'
The aim of the Imagineering Foundation is to introduce 8- to 16-year-olds to the world of engineering, science and technology through the opportunities we provide, including after-school clubs, fairs and hands-on activities at the Jaguar - Land Rover education visitors centre. We have supported Imagineering for a number of years and currently our employees run many of the after-school clubs. Clubs are a great way to encourage enthusiastic pupils and develop their basic knowledge and engineering skills.
'School Power'
We created this initiative to help primary-school teachers inspire the inventors, engineers and scientists of the future. It is full of fascinating facts, interactive activities and fun experiments – all about power and the exciting themes of energy, forces and materials. We designed it to improve the primary-school STEM curriculum for the whole class, and we have developed resources that are freely available to all schools.

City Year
- City Year brings together young people from all backgrounds for a year of full-time service giving them the skills and opportunities to change the world.
- Young people, known as 'corps members', serving with City Year spend 10 months working in schools as tutors, mentors and role models. They take the lead in programmes both during and after school as well as community projects. They receive training and support linked to both their service in schools and leadership after City Year.
- City Year was founded on the belief that young people can change the world.
We support a team of City Year volunteers in Whitmore School in East London.
