Hi,

For secondary school age group, are there any Robotics/Electronics workshops or project works carried out in England, UK? Not mere training/coaching, but, more challenging product building sort of things, where kids get a chance to cultivate/demonstrate leadership or research bent of work.

thanks

FIRST robotics is an American based competition, but I know that they have a lot of international teams including some in the UK. I highly recommend either joining one or looking at starting one at your school; I did FIRST in high school and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. There is a lot of teamwork and engineering that goes into it, and if you do well enough to go to the national competition it's just amazingly fun.
