Technology Challenge 2010

Your son/daughter has expressed interest in taking part in this year's Technology Challenge. For the last few years Sale Grammar School has been entering teams for this Challenge and we feel that it provides students with a valuable learning experience.

This is a one-week, team project for post-16 students. It is an excellent opportunity for those who are continuing with Science and/or Maths to A-level, and especially for those who may wish to pursue these beyond A-level to gain experience of solving real life problems, working with real engineers and gaining the BA Silver Crest Award.

The event is being organised by the Greater Manchester STEM Centre - they work with many other reputable organisations to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Teams of three or four Year 12 students are given a challenging Engineering, Design & Technology based project. The projects are provided by both national and locally based companies, each of which provides experienced members of staff to mentor the team throughout the week.
