| Summary: |
DISCOVER MANUFACTURING proposes to change the negative perception that many 2nd level students, their teachers and parents have of manufacturing by
giving them an image of an innovative, imaginative, impactful and society-oriented production activity.
A European consortium of four partners from industry and academia proposes to design a training programme targeted at secondary school pupils (14-16 years old) in 6 countries: CZ, DE, FR, IE, PT, UK. The programme is using additive and virtual manufacturing as a tool to learn how to design, make parts, and work in teams.
This programme will initially focus on training teachers and then support them in the delivery of the programme once in the classroom. To support the
engagement of students across the participating schools, the consortium will hold a competition on the theme of socially-relevant manufacturing. The finalist team representatives from each country will compete in the EIT-M Discover Manufacturing international final. |
