Morning sessions at the GASP Motor Project offer disadvantaged and under-achieving young people the chance to learn basic motor mechanics and practical engineering skills. This alternative learning facility helps 14 to 19 year olds achieve and contribute more than anyone thought possible.

The programme runs for 2-3 hours on a weekday morning. The sessions are designed to meet the needs of the young people (male or female). Importantly, we will work towards the outcomes that you identify and discuss with the GASP workshop manager.

The GASP facility is suitable for small groups from a school, or those young people for whom schooling is no longer appropriate. You will need to bring your own support workers to tackle social and behavioural issues. Our instructors will focus on teaching motor mechanics and engineering skills.
