How IHEEM Members can become Challenge Leaders


Applications for schools to register for the 2021-2022 IET (the Institution of Engineering and Technology) & IHEEM Faraday Challenge are now open. The challenge is an annual competition that tasks students to research, design, and make, prototype solutions to real-world engineering problems. Its aim is to introduce 12-13-year-olds to engineering, inspiring them to consider engineering as a career, and to help to develop their practical and employability skills, including team-working, problem- solving, and creative thinking, and enabling them to make informed decisions when choosing their GCSE choices.


The Faraday Challenge days are designed as cross-curricular activity days covering science, design and technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and are held at schools, organisations, and universities across the UK; IHEEM Company Affiliates or members’ local schools or children’s schools can sign up to be included in this fantastic opportunity.


Monira Kaouech, Project Support Officer, and IHEEM’s STEM Ambassador said: “We would like to encourage all members to consider participating in any way they can, and to reach out to their local schools or their own children’s schools to inspire them to take part in our 2021/22 Faraday Challenge, where they will have a chance to win up to £1000 for their school to spend on STEM activities.”


There are a few ways that schools, teams, or individuals, can apply: Option A: Schools with a team can apply to host a Challenge Leader-led Faraday Challenge Day at their school, with the option to invite teams from up to five other local schools. Option B: If they are unable to host, schools can apply to be an invited school, and take one team from their school along to another local event. Option C: If circumstances mean it is not possible for a Challenge Leader to come into the school, they can apply to hold a teacher-led Faraday Challenge Day at their school for their students only. We strongly advise that only those who have attended or hosted a Faraday Challenge Day previously choose this option. Option D: Finally, there is the option for Company Affiliates or other organisations to host a Challenge Leader-led Faraday Challenge Days at their organisation/


University, and invite teams from up to six local schools to come to their premises to take part.


There will also be a Virtual Faraday Challenge, which will be available via the IET website from September 2021 until July 2022. The Virtual Faraday Challenge is open for anyone aged 7-15; young people can participate at home, in school, individually, or as a group or family. It is also a good opportunity for international students to take part. The virtual challenge is not part of the National Faraday Challenge competition, but there are prizes to be won. More information can be found at https://education.theiet.org/faraday- challenge-days/virtual-faraday-challenge Teams should be made up of six students aged 12-13 years old (England and Wales Year 8, Scotland S1/S2, Northern Ireland Year 9). The winners of each Faraday Challenge Day will win prizes for themselves, and a trophy for their school, and gain a place on the national league table. The top teams from across the UK will get to go through to the National Final at the end of the season to compete for a cash prize of up to £1,000 for their school to spend on STEM activities.


The deadline for applications is Thursday 1st July 2021. Those wishing to take part in the 2021-22 season of Faraday Challenge Days should visit https://education.theiet.org/faraday- challenge-days/enter-your-school to find out more, and to apply.
