The event has traditionally housed the finals of three  of our national competitions – the K’Nex Challenge, the Club Awards and Young Engineer for Britain where approximately 100 students will come together to compete in this prestigious celebration. With such high-calibre finalists gathered together from all over the country, to be judged and display their achievements to key figures from academia, government and industry, the event always has an atmosphere charged with excitement, while the unique opportunity to liaise with like-minded contemporaries helps make this event a fun-filled and unforgettable experience.

 

Each year the high-light of the event is a glittering awards ceremony where an honoured guest presents the fantastic array of prizes.The many awards recognise the ingenuity, creativity, team spirit, project management and marketing skills that the students display whether on individual projects or on collective club achievements.

 

The kudos and recognition earned for both the young engineers and the represented schools is phenomenal; with local and national press coverage, radio and TV links, opportunities to meet potential sponsors and supporters – which has led in the past to projects realising their full commercial potential.

 

The event is made possible by the dedicated companies and supporters who generously donate time, money and resources at both the preceding regional finals and at the Celebration of Engineering itself. There are endless opportunities for companies and organisations to be involved and see for themselves the wealth of ingenuity and talent displayed by these young engineers.

 

The next event will be held 4-6 March 2009 at the Queen Elizabeth II Exhibition Centre in Westminster as part of the UK Young Scientist and Engineers Fair - The Big Bang.

 

This event will bring together the national finals of Young Engineer for Britain, Young Engineers National Club Awards, CREST Awards and the National Science Competition.
