Engineering Challenge - Schools - Girls Only Day
Sponsored Engineering Challenge days - STEM focused, free to enter and are for secondary schools only.
These sponsored competitive days, held throughout the year, are designed to raise awareness of engineering as a career.
The challenges encourage students to work on a breadth of skills from technical to practical skills, and communication to teamwork.
All challenges set will include aspects of design, simple mechanics and electrical circuits and will involve the students
purchasing materials from a pop-up shop, to build their model from scratch. At the end of the day each team will have to present a marketing pitch and working model to the ‘customer’.
New for 2025 - The Landing Gear Challenge!
Mentors on-hand during the day will include current engineers from the museum industry and the Royal Navy.
