Our activities aim to offer students of all ages a chance to get involved in engineering from its basic principles to the design and manufacture of cars, either in model form or as actual track-worthy vehicles.

Each project has its own organisation structure but all come under our umbrella; there are, of course, other programmes and competitions which aim to promote engineering, but these are well-established and have proven track records.

A wide range of skills is used by students in each of these activities, making them ideal projects on which to focus as part of their overall learning. More information on each is available by clicking on the activities in the map below.
