<\/p>\n Gatwick Airport, Facebook and Network Rail have become national partners for the \u201cIf you were an engineer, what would you do?\u00ae\u201d<\/strong> competition to help encourage students from schools across the UK to become the engineering professionals of the future. The partnership will be launched on August 13th<\/sup>, 2019 at a special event with an interactive display installed in the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport.<\/p>\n The event will also feature the \u2018Bicycle Sucker\u2019 – an invention that sucks water up from a well or river using the mechanics of the bike power and helps people living in water-deprived areas to store and transport liquids over long distances. The invention was designed by six year old Maisie, a year two school pupil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
