Pathway 01

Computer Science & AI

Learn the basics of programming, train a machine-learning model and use AI tools to build an app. No prior coding experience is required.

Sample project briefCould your model tell two objects apart? Gather images, train it to recognise them and test how it responds to pictures it has never seen.

Reveal a suggested first step

Start with two clearly different objects. Use one set of photos for training and save another set, taken from different angles, for testing.

Pathway 02

Engineering

Build and test a prototype while exploring electronics, structures, mechanical systems and sustainable energy.

Sample project briefHow much weight can your bridge hold? Predict where the forces will go, build a model and compare what happens under load with your prediction.

Reveal a suggested first step

Start by sketching where the load will sit and where the bridge is supported. Mark the part you think will bend first, then test that prediction.

Pathway 03

Business & Finance

Develop a business idea, explore how markets work and pitch your plan in a simulated investor meeting.

Sample project briefWhy would a customer choose your idea? Identify your audience, work out how the business would make money and defend your plan in a practice investor pitch.

Reveal a suggested first step

Start by naming one customer and one problem they face. Ask how they solve it today before deciding what your idea should offer.
