Workshops will need to be delivered throughout the United Kingdom and at overseas locations (tbc). Workshops and STEM resources will need to be curriculum mapped and be linked to the following topics: - Coding - Robotics - Cyber - Forces - Principles of Flight - Mindsets - Energy - Space - Electronics - Net Zero The Framework will be made available to all UK contracting authorities and be valid for 5 years.
