How it works

One project, from a first call to defending the finished work, with specialist mentors at every stage.

  1. 01Scope

    It starts with a free call. We turn an interest, or a target degree, into one sharp project question.

    Explore Ages 11–15

    Still finding their direction. A project that explores a field in depth and builds skills that carry across every discipline.

    Target Ages 15–18

    Know the degree they want. A project designed around that course, with real depth where admissions tutors look.

    • MentorPaired with a specialist mentor in the field
    • PackageChosen to fit the project’s length and depth
    • MappedDeliverables and milestones, agreed at the start
    • AimAn award or competition: a CREST Award, the EPQ, STEM Racing or CanSat

  2. 02ResearchPlanDesign

    The student digs into the theory, learns the tools and shapes the idea into a design.

    • SessionsWeekly or fortnightly, around their schedule
    • OnlineOne to one, or as a group for team projects
    • ToolsIntro sessions on Fusion, Python, Arduino and more
    • SupportMessage your mentor any time between sessions, with replies within 24 hours

  3. 03BuildTestAnalyse

    A physical build, working code or a full model, tested against the question they set out to answer.

    • Build daysIn person in London, when a project needs them
    • Write-upAn academic report to the award’s standard, from CREST to the EPQ

  4. 04Defend

    Specialist mentors question every decision, the way an admissions tutor would.

    • PracticeExplaining what they learned, the skills they built and why it matters
    • ResultBy the end, they’re the best advocate for their own work
