The Big Bang North West 2016: GETRAG Ford Halewood Champion Young Innovators!
A special thank you to GETRAG Ford Halewood for sponsoring The Big Bang North West Innovation Award!
The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Competition (formerly the National Science + Engineering Competition) is a national competition for young people to showcase their impressive science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) projects and to reward and recognise their achievements.
The semi-finals for this competition took place at The Big Bang North West 2016 and we had a plethora of prodigious pupil projects! The judges were overwhelmed by the incredible, inspiring and innovative ideas our entrants brought to the fore. In addition to a place in the National Finals at The Big Bang Fair in Birmingham, all entrants had the opportunity to win one of our prestigious sponsor awards.
GETRAG Ford Halewood have worked alongside MerseySTEM on numerous projects from ‘bring your daughter to work‘ to our school-wide Robotics Challenge! They strive to connect young people with STEM and we were overjoyed when they generously sponsored our Innovation Award.
