This competitions is one of our flagship STEM programmes that invites pupils of all ages in both primary and secondary schools to imagine if they were an engineer, what problem would they most like to solve? They do this by interviewing professionals from the engineering field to help inspire them to create their own design<\/strong> of a solution to a real-world problem through an annotated<\/strong> illustration detailing their invention. As well as annotation<\/strong>, they will put their formal English writing skills into practice by creating their own letters of purpose<\/strong>, detailing and explaining<\/strong> their ideas, using persuasive<\/strong> techniques to appeal to our engineer judges \u2013 a thoroughly engaging and immersive<\/strong> experience for pupils, teachers and engineers alike.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title=”REGISTER TODAY” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fleadersaward.com%2Fresource-area-registration%2F”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Even though engineering is all around us we often find it difficult to describe what <\/span>it is<\/span> let alone how to <\/span><\/span>become an engineer! At its core is creative problem solving, looking for solutions to problems, even mending <\/span><\/span>things that <\/span>aren\u2019t<\/span> broken. By using this creative theme, we can encourage learners to develop their listening, <\/span><\/span>literacy and observational skills, develop creative problem-solving approaches, illustration with annotation, <\/span><\/span>and letter writing for a purpose. By providing an opportunity for learners to interview engineers the <\/span><\/span>opportunity to learn and ask questions about careers and work environments becomes accessible.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”How:” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:30|text_align:left|color:%23e4221e” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Register to access the lesson plans, pupil log-books, guides, curriculum mappings and <\/span><\/span>entry submission information.
