Your Young Engineers team is led by Kathleen Reynolds. She is supported by a team of teachers, assistants and family to deliver our classes.

My name is Kathleen Reynolds and I run Young Engineers Edinburgh & West Lothian. I began my teaching career with a four year undergraduate Masters in Primary Education with Religious Studies from the University of Edinburgh. Whilst studying there I began working for Young Engineers.

After working with Young Engineers for 2 years I left to work as a primary teacher in a school in North Lanarkshire. I then left teaching to do a second Masters degree in Inclusive Education at the University of Glasgow. Inclusive Education is an absolute passion of mine and something which I incorporate into everything I do. I am particularly passionate about working with those with Additional Support Needs. I am also a firm supporter of closing the attainment gap, LGBT+ education, and supporting Looked After & Accommodated children.

I My goal here at Young Engineers is to give every child the chance to have a positive and inspiring experience, to enjoy learning and to come out of each class full of ideas and excitement, proud of their achievements.
