The Greater Manchester Engineering Challenge (GMEC) is designed to inspire 7-14 year olds to engage with engineering processes and scenarios using project-based tasks linked to the National Curriculum. Pupils work in schools or at home linking with engineering ambassadors from industry. A series of 4 lessons and themed tasks lead up to the GMEC Challenge in March 2021.
Teachers receive tailored professional development focused on embedding engineering habits of mind within the curriculum. Educators anywhere can access all resources for free!
GMEC is part of The University of Manchester’s Science & Engineering Education Research and Innovation Hub (SEERIH) Engineering Educates programme.
