The Leaders Award competition challenges children of all ages – Reception to Year 12 – to invent solutions to problems they see in the world.
Nationwide 71,000 pupils took part in this year’s competition. UWE Engineering is the Leaders Award’s partner for South West England and hosted a wonderful panel of volunteer Engineers to assess local children’s inventions on 23rd May.
The judging panel consisted of engineers from partners GKN Aerospace, Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), Thales, Boeing and supporters from Dyson and Airbus Aircraft and DXC Technology – see photo above. The panel had a great time selecting the winners!
Now UWE Bristol is looking forward to hosting the regional Awards Ceremony on Friday 5th July.
Local Engineers are invited to attend the Awards Ceremony and view the exhibition of shortlisted designs.
The exhibition will stay up for UWE Engineering’s Family Fun day on Saturday 6th July. It’s open to everyone!
