Watch it Made

Watch it Made is a business based on an educational program. The aim is to enthuse children into engineering by receiving them in a manufacturing studio for them to design, manufacture and assemble a watch. They will learn the basic processes of mechanical engineering such as the milling and turning, as well as the ink-jet printing using ultra violet cured ink. At the end of the experience, not only have they designed, manufactured and assembled their watch, they get to take their own quality timepiece home with them and have something that is unique to themselves. Based on Cranfield University's campus, a learning manufacturing studio has been designed to receive the children and provide this challenging, entertaining and practical engineering experience. The initial target audience was pre-GCSE school age (12-13 yo.), but evidence suggests that both younger and older children are interested in the concept, hence Watch it Made is not limited to just this age bracket.
