THE SOUTH
Funded by the University of Southampton and Thales, this award invites pupils from Primary and Secondary schools across the southern region of England to be inspired by an engineer from a local industry. They can then apply an engineer’s eye to the world and identify problems in need of solving. When they have settled on their idea, they draw and annotate it, making clear what the problem is and their unique solution to it.
All entries we receive will be awarded certificates, some may achieve Merits and Distinctions. A panel chooses two great ideas from each year group. These winners are presented with awards as part of a private show and awards day, followed by a public exhibition. For more information about the South of England Primary Engineer and Secondary Engineer Leaders Award Exhibition 2019-2020 contact [email protected]
Primary Engineer and the Leaders Award extend their thanks to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Thales and many other SE industries for their support. The aim is to inspire pupils with the extraordinary careers available to them in the region, meet engineers and understand their career paths and motivation.
