Are you an innovator? Do you have an idea which could make life easier, simpler or better?
Use your imagination, to think creatively. This is a chance to ask “What if?” or even build a fun example of what this might look like.
The TeenTech Awards are for UK students from 11-16 (Years 7 to 11) and 17-19 (Year 12-13) working in teams of up to three to look at problems large and small to see if they can find a better way of doing things.
There will be a prize of £1000 to the winning school in each innovation category and the overall winners will be presented with their awards by HRH Duke of York KG at Buckingham Palace.
The Manufacturing Technologies Association has developed the TDI Challenge to promote the great design and technology and engineering work of teachers and students.
The aim of the competition is to promote STEM skills and help the technology industry better understand the challenges faced in education and how the industry can assist through collaboration.
There are four categories you can enter:
individual student aged 14-16
individual student aged 17-19
student group (3-6 members) aged 14-16
student group (3-6 members) aged 17-19
The winners of each category will win prizes such as an iPad or GoPro and the schools will receive £2000 to spend on design and technology equipment. Students and teachers can submit coursework or projects that are already existing so you needn’t spend time creating a new piece of work.
Think you know about construction? Watch the biggest construction broadcast of 2019.
Construction LIVE is a live streamed event that will be broadcast to thousands across the UK wanting to find out more about construction in 2019 and the exciting developments happening within the sector.
The live event is focused on technology and engineering and how it is used within the construction sector in 2019. The live broadcast will feature graduates and students from Balfour Beatty along with invited questions from a live and virtual audience throughout the interactive broadcast.
Take your school on a journey of discovery into STEM! Come to the biggest on-day STEM fair in the Yorkshire and Humber region. It’s FREE, fun and inspirational.
Students will have the chance to take part in over 40 STEM-sational interactive activities. There will also be three pre-bookable shows.
The event encourages students to present their STEM projects. They get the chance to talk to STEM professionals about their work and take part in an awards ceremony to recognise their achievements.
‘Capturing movement’ is the theme of this year’s competition from the Royal Society of Biology. Life on Earth is constantly changing, and your invited to photograph nature in motion.
You might wish to explore the locomotion and migration of animals or the growth and colonisation of plants and fungi. Your photograph could depict the act of flying, hunting, playing and swimming, or the bones, muscles and other biological structures that help perform these actions. Entries are also welcomed that explore this theme at the cellular or molecular level, illustrating the dynamic world only revealed to us with a microscope.
The Armourers and Brasiers Tata Sixth Form Materials Prize, supported by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, is a new competition designed to support schools in encouraging students to develop a sustained interest in STEM careers. It has been set up to give students structured opportunities to find out more about Materials Science and Engineering and enhance and enrich their studies.
