Brief Description of Requirement

The specification sets out the Department For Transport's and the Department For Business And Trade's (The Authority) - including the Centre For Connected And Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) - requirement for a supplier to deliver an education and research project focusing on presenting young people with engaging educational experiences linked to Connected And Automated Mobility (80), and relating these experiences to career opportunities for the future.

The Requirement is for the development and delivery of engaging resources for primary school children at Key Stage 2 (KS2) and their teachers to explore CAM through the lens of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) materials. The resources/the programme is to be evaluated in terms of their impacts on children's interest in STEM/CAM and lessons learned for future educational programmes implemented by CCAV.

This project will initiate a programme of engagement activities which will see children and young people being provided opportunities to engage with technologies and resources relating to CAM towards the longer-term aim of nurturing the STEM/CAM skillset of young people in the UK. Not taking this opportunity now will miss a key cultural moment for inspiring positive attitudes and optimism towards the introduction of CAM transport within those who are most likely to benefit from it. This positivity is central to the overriding aim of ensuring young people are equipping themselves for future careers in CAM through an interest in stem. Other activities will include widening the audience for similar learning packages to the other key stages and college/further & higher education cohorts, work-based training and apprenticeships and targeted internship opportunities to engage with CAM projects.
