Our Industry and University ProtoTeam Builds for 2023-2024
Primary Engineer ProtoTeams form part of the ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’
Leaders Award Competition, furthering engagement between schools, pupils and our university and industry partners. ProtoTeams select from a range of shortlisted pupil ideas and drawings, choosing one to prototype, taking it from paper to reality in a journey of pure innovation.
ProtoTeams are encouraged to provide updates to Primary Engineer, enabling a wider audience of schools, the industry and the general public to also follow the build. See the 2023-2024 ProtoTeam updates below.
