The future of engineering starts with inspiring the next generation.
Join Rowan Crozier MBE as we return to the MAN Group Design & Make Challenge 2026, where students from across the UK put their creativity, teamwork and engineering skills to the test in a fast-paced, hands-on competition at the University of Warwick. The annual challenge gives Year 10-12 students the opportunity to design, prototype and implement a solution to a industry aligned task.
This year was the hardest yet, with electric motors and a difficult course gave the students a difficult task. All teams came up with something completely different and the amount of innovation present was amazing!
In this video, you will see a walkthrough of the event with Rowan Crozier and a deep dive into the tasks the students were undertaking at the event.
At Brandauer, we believe that inspiring the next generation is just as important as engineering precision components. Events like the Design & Make Challenge help bridge the gap between education and industry, giving young people a genuine insight into careers in engineering and manufacturing.
