GREATER MANCHESTER
GREATER MANCHESTER
The award, funded by Siemens and Greater Manchester Combined Authority. The venue provided by the University of Salford Manchester invites pupils from Primary and Secondary schools in the Greater Manchester region 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 contact the [email protected] or register your school with the provided link below.
Primary Engineer and the Leaders Award extend their thanks to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and many other Greater Manchester 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.
