The National Science & Engineering Competition
The National Science & Engineering Competition seeks to showcase and reward the best student projects from every area of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It is open to all 11-18 year olds living in the UK.
Students can enter their project by attending a regional Big Bang fair. The best entries from the regional Big Bang fairs in June and July 2010 will be invited to showcase their project at The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists’ and Engineers’ Fair in March 2011.
There is over £50,000 of prizes available including cash awards and trips abroad. Prizes are available for teams and individuals, for different age groups (Junior: 11 to 14 years; Intermediate: 15 to 16; Senior: 17 to 18 years) and across a range of disciplines and themes. The overall individual winners in the senior age category will be crowned the UK Young Scientist of the Year or the UK Young Engineer of the Year.
The National Science & Engineering Competition is an initiative of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and is coordinated by the British Science Association in partnership with Young Engineers and The Big Bang.
