About Engineering Systemisers
Our Vision is to inspire and equip young learners to apply systems thinking and engineering in everyday life, learning, and problem-solving.
Why it matters?
Systems Thinking is a Core Engineering Mindset. Recognised by the Royal Academy of Engineering as one of the six Engineering Habits of Mind, systems thinking helps young people navigate complexity, make thoughtful decisions, and see the interconnectedness of challenges – essential skills for future engineers.
Most learners never encounter Systems Engineering early enough. Despite its real-world relevance, Systems Engineering is rarely introduced before higher education. Engineering Systemisers helps ‘left-shift’ that journey, through embedding the mindset, not just the method, at an earlier stage of learning.
STEM disengagement starts young, and disproportionately. According to the Science Museum Group, 27% of UK population feel STEM was “not for me,” and 68% are interested but made no specific effort to engage with STEM activities, with engagement levels especially low among socially disadvantaged groups and girls. Our inclusive design principle ensures every learner sees themselves as a potential problem-solver.
Games are powerful, safe spaces for deep learning. Games offer immersive, cooperative models of real systems. They allow students to explore challenges, test scenarios, and experience failure in a low-risk setting – building practical problem-solving, resilience, and systems awareness along the way.
Engineering Systemisers bridges classrooms with real-world systems. Developed with educators, engineers, and industry, our approach blends practical learning with professional relevance. Students engage with real challenges in health, energy, transport, and space – preparing them to think critically, act collaboratively, and lead with systems insight.
