Do you ever wish that the work you produce in class or clubs could gain wider recognition?

The National Science & Engineering Competition is open to all 11-18 year
olds and accepts entries that have been completed as exam coursework, class
projects or even in the students’ own time. It’s quick and easy to enter and could
lead to many exciting opportunities for students, schools, colleges and teachers
alike.

The competition, now in its second year, will hold its finals at The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists’ and Engineers’ Fair in March 2010 at the Manchester Central. The lucky finalists and their teachers will be invited to showcase their
work at the fair and will also have the opportunity to meet a number of
professional scientists and engineers from research and industry, as well as VIPs, celebrities, other like-minded students and teachers.

The competition boasts a range of fantastic prizes totalling over £50,000 and to ensure appeal across the age range these will be divided between three age
categories and also between individual and team projects.

Last year’s winners have received ongoing acclaim for their work, including a visit
to 10 Downing Street, a personal message from the Prime Minister and a VIP visit
to a cutting-edge research facility where they were congratulated by HRH The Duke
of York. The students and schools involved have received a great deal of positive media coverage.

So, if you wish to be a part of something very special, why not get involved
this year?
