IET Faraday Challenge Days: bringing engineering to life


“Bringing engineering to life in the classroom so that it opens up a whole new world of career choices is a challenge our profession faces,” says IHEEM. The Institute continued: “That is why we are delighted to be teaming up with the Education team at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) from this September. Together we will not only highlight the work that our members do, but also challenge secondary school students all over the UK to come up with their own solutions to the kind of issues that we face in our working lives. We would also like our members to get involved.” The IET has been creating and taking Faraday Challenge Days into schools for over 10 years. Over that time more than 25,000 children have taken part. Each year a new and unique challenge is created with a partner organisation. IET Faraday Challenge Days introduce students to engineering in a very practical way. They are presented with a real scenario, asked to think about the kind of challenges that would be faced, and then work together to come up with a solution – all in the course of one school day.


The winning team at each event receives a prize, and the top teams compete at a National Final for a £1,000 prize for their school. “Our challenges test students’ creativity and problem- solving skills,” said Natalie Moat, Faraday Education Manager, IET. “We are looking for great teamwork, because by the end

of the day they need to design, make, and demonstrate, a working prototype of their solution to a real-life problem – within budget and with limited resources.”


The Challenge Days are aimed at 12-13- year-olds (Year 8 students in England and Wales, S1/S2 students in Scotland, and Year 9 students in Northern Ireland), before they have made crucial decisions about their subject choices at GCSE level and the equivalent. “We want to give them a taste of what engineering is really about. They are often surprised at their own abilities and what they can achieve in one day,” added Natalie Moat. Students and teachers consistently rate the experience highly – with many schools signing up each year. She added: “By working with industry partners we can bring real issues alive. That’s why we are so excited to be working with IHEEM
