WHAT
WE DO
We run a wide range of projects for children and young people including art exhibitions, poetry festivals, debating and spelling competitions and science exhibitions to find our schools' most promising young engineers. We also offer a broad range of courses for adults. Whether child or adult, our initiatives are about helping people reach the best of their ability.
