Engineering Educates: Robotics Challenge is supported and sponsored by the UK RAS Network. This leading group of professional engineers and innovators in robotics are passionate about supporting young people in their STEM careers and learning. RAS encourages academic and industry collaboration to accelerate the development in this fast-moving technological sector of robotics.

A key part of UK-RAS’ work is to share practice and to inspire the next generation of robotics engineers across a wide range of sectors. Under the leadership of the Science & Engineering Education Research and Innovation Hub, at The University of Manchester, this new campaign profiles the work of the RAS Network that cuts across over 30 universities in the UK. The campaign aims to involve young people and teachers by modelling how school curriculum learning can be invigorated by the network’s real-world robotics challenges.


We are hugely proud and appreciative of the support offered by our collaborators across the UK.
