On Friday 11^th October 2024, 36 Year 8 pupils took part in the IET Faraday® Challenge 2024 – 2025 which was delivered by Cognition Learning on behalf of the Institute of Engineering and Technology.

The Challenge Day provides six teams of six students, aged 12 to 13 years, with the opportunity to research, design and make prototype solutions to real-world engineering problems.  This season’s theme partners are the UKRI’s Faraday® Battery Challenge.

The IET Faraday® Challenge is an annual competition of STEM activity days, which are designed to be cross curricular and cover hands on activities spanning science, technology, engineering and maths.  The competition sees teams across the country competing, where the top teams at the end of the season are invited to the National Final to battle it out to be crowned the IET Faraday® National Champion and will win a cash prize of up to £1000 for their school to spend on STEM activities.

Congratulations to the winners of the first round of the IET Faraday® Challenge 2024 – 2025: Chloe Bannister, Maggie Hawkins, Chloe Cooke, Leila Hooper, Jessica Madden, Dee Friggens
