Since 1996, Children Challenging Industry (CCI) has been opening young minds to the world of science and industry - from classrooms in England and Scotland to children as far as China!

Read the article in JES [Bridging the gap: Inspiring primary school children through the Children Challenging Industry programme] or the full study in the International Journal of Science Education [Children Challenging Industry: improving young pupils’ engagement with science through links with industry].
