In September 2019, the Cambridge Academic Partnership joined the United Learning group of schools as a unit. Its sponsors include Cambridge Regional College, Cambridge University Health Partners and the Sanger Institute. Students at Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology engage in Challenge Projects (held by regional employers such as AstraZeneca and Zeiss) between 10 and 20 hours per week for six to eight weeks. Challenge Projects are cross curricular in nature and engender innovation and enterprise while upskilling students in the latest scientific and computer technology.Students generate a portfolio of evidence of their developing professional, technical and employ ability skills that leads to evaluation by external moderators of the Baker Award.
