Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal

The Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal celebrates the innovation, public engagement, and industry links of the university ProtoTeams who have built pupils’ ideas for the ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’ national Leaders Award competition.

The aim of the Primary Engineer MacRobert Medals is to recognise the connection between the ideas that young people between the ages of 3 and 19 submit to the competition and those which are chosen to be built by engineers and students in our partner university’s ProtoTeams.

Primary Engineer and The MacRobert Trust is a collaboration between both Primary Engineer and the MacRobert Trust to recognise and celebrate the innovation young people can inspire in engineers #EngineersInTheMaking. The medal is supported by the WEIR Group.

The Primary Engineer MacRobert Medals are presented annually.
