Challenge and prototype partners

Bring a real problem. Do not buy access to children.

Partners can help frame useful questions, supply non-sensitive evidence or support a supervised prototype. They cannot contact pupils directly.

Challenge partner

Provide a reviewed problem brief. Pupil submissions remain private unless separately authorised.

Technical mentor

Answer bounded questions through an assigned, teacher-visible workspace.

Prototype supporter

Fund materials or specialist testing under a written agreement.

Every engagement requires role checks, school approval, a defined purpose and an audit trail. Commercial development needs a separate written agreement covering permission, credit, use and financial terms.
