The Primary Engineer® MacRobert Medal is a collaboration with The MacRobert Trust and acts as the forerunner to the illustrious MacRobert Award, the leading prize for engineering innovation in the UK. The Primary Engineer® MacRobert Medal was designed to celebrate the achievements of the school pupils, students and young engineers who have all worked together to create innovative and world changing prototypes. These prototypes came from the ideas from school pupils aged 3-19 who answered the question “If you were an engineer, what would you do?” as part of Primary Engineer’s annual Competition.

The Primary Engineer® MacRobert Medal celebrated it’s fourth year in November 2025, with the support of The MacRobert Trust, WEIR Group and Christopher Ward, at the prestigious Drapers’ Hall in London. In the 2024/25 academic year, there were 18 ProtoTeams and 9 were awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals at the award ceremony to recognise and celebrate their achievements. The judging panel consisted of some of the most senior figures from industry, education and government, who deliberated over every applicant.
