Please see below information on the Primary & Secondary Engineer Leaders Award. This is a free STEM competition which requires primary and secondary pupils to interview engineers and then design a solution to a problem in response to the question, “If you were an engineer, what would you do?”
This is the second year the competition is running for London schools with UCL. As well as two winners from each age group, UCL will select a winning design and a team of engineers from UCL will make it!
The design chosen from last year was by 5 year old Mahika Sharma who designed the ‘Smart Stick’ a modern interpretation of the white stick for blind people which has vibrate alerts and audio alerts via Bluetooth. The competition was highly successful in Scotland which over the last four years has had 22,000 children enter.
