Embark on an exciting engineering journey with our immersive educational course that delves into the fascinating realms of Energy and Civil Engineering, Robotics and Programming. From being inspired by real-life stories to gaining firsthand insights into the daily life of an engineer, this course isn't just about textbooks and theories; it's about bridging the gap between classroom learning and the practical, dynamic world of modern engineering. Set against the backdrop of the University of Manchester, this unique experience is tailored for students in Year 8 and 9 in England and Wales, S2 and S3 in Scotland, and Year 9 and 10 in Northern Ireland.
Picture your child exploring the cutting-edge facilities of the University of Manchester, engaging in hands-on activities that make learning both enjoyable and insightful, and working in teams with other young people who share similar interests. This isn't just a course; it's an opportunity for your child to connect with world-class engineers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. These engineers have walked the same path, faced the same decisions, and are now thriving in careers your child might dream of.
Combining fun, action-packed days with a programme of evening social activities, this course is run by an experienced team of Smallpeice youth delivery experts and supervisors and is delivered in partnership with IMI Truflo Marine.
