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 third year in 2024, with the Official Award Ceremony being held in Glasgow. 24 prototypes were built, 17 were shortlisted and 10 were awarded medals. The judging panel consisted of some of the most senior figures in the engineering industry, who deliberated over every applicant. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were handed out at the award ceremony as we celebrated their amazing achievements.

The Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal continues in 2025 with the support of The MacRobert Trust, WEIR Group and Christopher Ward with the Official Award Ceremony taking place in London on the 17th November.
