Children Challenging Industry
The Children Challenging Industry (CCI) project, which began in 1996, aims to create enthusiasm for learning science amongst primary school children by providing classroom-based training for the teaching of the National Curriculum for Science. This, and liaison with local science-based manufacturing companies, enables pupils to see how the science they learn at school is used in a 'real life' context.
"Being involved in the project made the children feel like real scientists"
"The children get to see science applied in an industrial environment"
"The children learnt a great deal from the tour - and so did I!"
