Abstract	Educational visits are always a highlight of any school year, with museums, historical experiences and outdoor activity centres often winning in the popularity stakes, but what about a visit to a local manufacturing plant or science laboratory? Some might feel that this would be a health and safety headache best avoided, or perhaps that a class full of excitable children may not be welcome in such an environment, but one might be pleasantly surprised on both counts. With guidance from the Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) team, scientists, engineers, and technicians working at local industrial sites are often very keen to share their workplaces and passion for STEM careers with the next generation. This article explores the benefits of industry site visits to enrich the primary curriculum. (ERIC).
