Ore Projects

Lauren and Daniela run Ore projects from their workshop in Hertfordshire. They provide local teenagers with hands-on skills in metalwork for free. Their long term aim is to tackle the shortage of trade workers by teaching young people practical skills that are no longer accessible through school, due to a mass closure of Design and Technology departments across the UK. (Only 22% of children in the UK took D&T last year) They want to normalise and empower women working within a heavily male-dominated industry. (Only 16.5% of all engineers in the UK are female) Finally they want to provide an authentic community amongst young makers (70% of youth clubs in the UK have shut since 2011).
