Education
Develop people and capability
Project-based programmes for young people, teacher development, professional learning and international collaboration.
Cambridge Intelligence & Robotics Centre
An AI and robotics centre connecting education, research, solutions and products.
CIRC is a multidisciplinary AI and robotics centre. We work with schools, companies, researchers and international partners to develop people, investigate important questions, solve implementation challenges and create deployable products.

Build systems that can be deployed
Modular robotics, sensors, simulations, challenge platforms, curriculum resources and complete learning environments.
Who we work with
Different sectors, shared need for responsible implementation
01
Schools and education groups
Primary, secondary and high-school pathways; teacher capability; labs; international teams; evidence for sustainable scale.
02
Companies and employers
Talent development, professional training, sponsored challenges, education partnerships and applied robotics innovation.
03
Universities and researchers
Joint studies, prototype evaluation, knowledge exchange, student mentoring and routes from research into practice.
04
International partners
School connections, cross-border project teams, global challenges and collaborative programme development.
How CIRC works
From a question to a sustained capability
01
Understand
Define the people, problem, operating context, evidence requirements and responsible-use boundaries.
02
Design and test
Combine learning design, research, technology and user feedback in a bounded pilot or prototype.
03
Deploy and improve
Train teams, establish support, measure outcomes and refine the system for reliable long-term use.
