WHO ARE WE?
In 2003 The Greater Manchester STEM Centre ( formely known as SETPOINT Greater Manchester) became a co-founding partner of the North West Science Learning Centre. This is based at Manchester Metropolitan University and involves St Martin's College of HE in Lancaster.
We offer a service to all schools and colleges in Greater Manchester. We are able to visit schools and colleges to give advice on the best ways to proceed with Education – Business link activities.
