Training Portfolio

Engineering Systemisers began with a simple mission: to make systems thinking and engineering accessible to everyone through age-appropriate, practical, and engaging approaches. Our training portfolio is designed to equip learners with an interdisciplinary understanding of complex systems and systems engineering. While primarily aimed at ages 11-18, the programme is also applicable to more experienced groups.
Activities include cooperative Systemisers games, mini challenge cards, industry-driven case studies, short exercises, group discussions, and supporting readings. Play, learn, and lead with Systems Thinking.
