NORTHERN IRELAND
The award, supported by Thales, Royal Navy and Ulster University invites pupils from Primary and Secondary schools in Northern Ireland 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 will 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 Northern Ireland Primary Engineer and Secondary Engineer Leaders Award 2019-2020 contact us at [email protected].
