Introduction: Farming is responsible of 30 % of all greenhouse emissions (Lal, 2021). The UK Government has set an agricultural transition plan for the period 2021 to 2024 that includes a slurry investment scheme, which grants funding for new slurry stores and equipment to protect the environment in ways that exceed current regulatory requirements (DEFRA, 2020, p. 55). Many farms are opting for the CATNAP (Cheapest Available Technology Narrowly Avoiding Prosecution) approach that is not fully regulated (e.g., use of chemical amendments of slurry) and could be not very cost-effective (Buckley et al., 2020; Lanigan et al., 2018). Particularly, some of these slurry additives claim to reduce the gaseous emissions despite being cocktails of microbes that promote the fermentation of slurry (Kavanagh et al., 2021). A novel technology for managing slurry has been proposed, combining the benefits of using chemical amendments and operating under the conditions of the covered slurry stores (Moure Abelenda et al., 2023). The present investigation tests a flexible model to ease the knowledge transfer and the commercialization of this technology, which is presented to society as a didactic tool to improve the project-based learning (PBL) of Advanced Level students. Methodology: The PBL methodology, which was conceived in previous investigations (Moure Abelenda et al., 2023), was applied with 6 A-level students (i.e. 2 groups of 3 students), selected following the criteria of In2ScienceUK (2023) to address their pedagogic needs and provide them with a real experience of an entrepreneurial project beyond academic research. The £400-prototypes of the novel technology of processing animal slurry are prepared in advance to provide the working groups of project promotors with a quick start for the 10 3-hour sessions of the PBL (Make it happen!). Their investigation on optimizing the best conditions to promote the hydration of calcium chloride and the drying of limed manure is meant to consider the best fitting of the artifact in the current infrastructure and logistics of managing manure at small farm scale (400 ton y-1). For this purpose, the 5th session of the PBL (Make it happen!) is devoted to primary market research visiting a local farm in Lancashire County and for the 10th session stakeholders of the agroindustry are invited, when students have the chance of presenting how their artifact addresses the needs of potential clients. Results and discussion: The engagement activity takes place on the week commencing 24th July 2023, as per the programme of In2Science (2023) and availability of the funding. The preliminary SWOT analysis of the didactic proposal estimates that the outreaching event will constitute a transversal experience for A-level students. The coordination and cooperative learning of the group members is meant to be promoted with the use of an adapted business model canvas template, which includes the Rumsfeld matrix to enable their metacognition and to improve the action lines that the groups of students are drafting to address the problems of the potential clients (Moure Abelenda et al., 2023). The flexible model for the commercialization of the environmental technology in the farming and educational sectors is considered suitable for this first edition of the PBL (Make it happen!). The advances in the development of the prototype and the expansion of the network enhances the adoption of the technology in the industry but hinder the application of subsequent editions of this project on slurry management in educational institutions.
