The Leaders Award is back!
The Leaders Award is a hugely successful, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) competition. Students are challenged to come up with answers to the question:
“If you were an engineer, what would you do?”
Earlier this year over 49,000 young people (aged 3-19) across the UK entered engineering inventions to help solve global problems.
Students will be designated an engineer with relevant experience and interview them to guide them in developing solutions to the problem they want to solve. This will then be graded by the designated engineer, and regional winners are invited to a celebration event in July (2020’s SouthWest event will be held at UWE on 10th July).
And some of the local southwest inventions are now being created by engineering students at UWE!
