Workshop
10 Million People, One System: a hands-on engineering challenge where students solve the real logistics problems that power modern life.
Show your students how real‑world engineering works, quietly powering everything from same-day online deliveries to luggage routing in airports.
In this hands‑on workshop, teams design, build and programme an automated system that can detect, sort and respond to changing conditions, mirroring challenges engineers tackle in industry today.
Aveea bridges classroom learning with the real engineering world. Working with STEM professionals, they translate current industry problems into accessible, meaningful activities for young people. The session is iterative and supportive, helping every learner - confident or hesitant - build skills step by step and leave with something that genuinely works.
As one teacher shared: “Even some of our quieter learners were fully involved, which says a lot about how accessible and well‑pitched the sessions were.”
Delivered in schools around London and the East Midlands regions. Sessions cover a half-day and are suitable for KS3-KS5. No prior experience needed.
Cost
£760 per half-day session. A 10% Big Bang at Schools discount is available, reducing this to £684. Bursary funding is accepted.
