Neston High School participated in an IET Faraday® Challenge Day delivered by All About STEM and could make the national final.

Students became real-life engineers for a day when they researched, designed and built solutions to real engineering problems as part of the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s IET Faraday® Challenge Day.

Demi Cornell, IET Faraday® education manager, said: “I’m thrilled for all the students participating in the IET Faraday® Challenge Days to experience what it’s like to be young engineers for a day!

“They’ll have the chance to tackle a real-world challenge connected to the Faraday Battery Challenge through interactive, hands-on learning.

“There is a huge demand for new engineers and technicians, and we are confident that this will challenge young people’s perceptions of engineering and inspire the next generation by giving them an insight into the life of a real engineer and show them just how exciting and creative engineering really is.”

The events aim to encourage more young people to study and consider exciting and rewarding careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) by using creativity, innovation and problem solving skills.
