It comes as a capacity-building programme under the Royal Academy of Engineering, United Kingdom, in association with Global Challenges Research Fund, (GCRF). Participants are to be trained on engineering designs and skills, such as welding, automobile, maintenance, operations and metal fabrication. We have a lot of innovative ideas coming from our schools but nothing is been done to commercialize the projects. We want to get the best mechanical engineering projects from schools and let them compete with other schools in different states, and zonal level. He pledged that the association would adequately support the project by putting in place structures for training and mentoring of youths in mechanical engineering design and fabrication skills among others.
