SET for Sport was founded in 2008 by Portia Ltd to promote engineering as a subject for study and as a career to young people, and in particular girls.  Since then this initiative has been tested in a number of different school settings and has proven that the approach of using sport and the history of the development of olympic sports as a 'hook' to demonstrate what engineering is about appeals to and motivates  children of all ages.  Since then, children from many different backgrounds have taken part in the SET for Sport events and enjoyed the experience hugely.
