North West Schools Make National Finals Of The Big Bang Competition

 
Students from several schools in the North West are among the 52 projects to make it to the national Finals of The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Competition.

The Big Bang Competition recognises and rewards young people’s science and engineering project work. Finalists have the opportunity to win a range of prizes and could be crowned UK Young Engineer and UK Young Scientist of the Year with a prize of £2000.

The Big Bang Competition judges and moderators were extremely impressed with the creativity and innovation shown to solve real-world projects shown by all the young people who participated. Approximately 200 projects have been entered the Competition this year.

The winners of The Big Bang Competition will be announced at the Award Ceremony at The Big Bang Fair on Wednesday 22 June at the NEC in Birmingham.
