<\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat does it involve?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Pupils are tasked with interviewing an engineer (arranged by Primary Engineer), where they get a better understanding of what engineering is, the career pathways involved as well as the opportunity to ask the questions that matter to them. The interview gives pupils the inspiration to come up with their own engineering ideas to a problem they identify whether that\u2019s a problem relatable to themselves, their community or the world around them. The cross-curricular competition asks pupils to draw and annotate a solution to the problem whilst also writing a persuasive letter to tell the inspiring engineer about their solution and why it should be brought to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat are the benefits?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The competition boosts pupils\u2019 confidence in the classroom as every single pupil who takes part is recognised with a personalised graded certificate, with all entries that are submitted being read and graded by professional engineers. Entries are graded based on the quality of the idea, not the art skills or spelling of the letter so is suitable for all pupils regardless of academic ability and educational needs. In addition to fostering confidence in the classroom, the competition provides a unique opportunity for students to receive personalised recognition. Every participant, regardless of academic ability or educational needs, is acknowledged for their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pupils build lasting memories at our regional exhibitions and awards ceremonies where their amazing, joyous and innovative ideas are showcased and celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to the support from Primary Engineer\u2019s National and Regional Partners, the competition is fully-funded and free to all schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
