Project Engage
ENGAGE was a European Commission project to give the students the skills to apply their scientific knowledge to real-life issues. We are re-publishing the innovative created by members of the Mastery Science team, working for Sheffield Hallam University. ENGAGE activities have been used by 15,000 teachers across 11 partner countries: UK. Greece, Germany, France, Romania, Israel, Spain, Norway, Switzerland, Lithuania, and Cyprus.
