This year our annual LOOK DRAW BUILD programme has been extended to 9 Bristol schools, 14 classes. The programme started in April when the classes were taken around Bristol Temple Meads station to learn about what comprises a railway stations and about safety, hosted by GWR’s Senior Accessibility Manager.
The programme of morning Station building workshops in classes started on 6 May at Baddocks Wood Primary ending on 20 May at Two Mile Hill Primary. Once the children have built their models the schools are asked to selected the ones they want to represent each participating class. The teachers’ reports about each submitted models are then judged by a panel of professional engineers, architects and representatives from the programme’s funders and supporting companies. For the first time the panel will have the opportunity to see all 14 models which will be brought to be on display at Platform 14 of the Engine Shed at Temple Meads. The panel will meet in a room attached to Mr Brunel’s original Boardroom at Bristol Temple Meads
The winning models will be announced on 5th June during Awards Night on Platform 14 of the Engine Shed in Bristol. All 14 model stations built will be on display. Mr Brunel will be there to announce the results and more.
