Abstract

The Festival for Aspiring Engineers invited the winning teams from each of the Jack Petchey Foundation supported Faraday Challenge Days to attend an afternoon event on 18th July at IET London: Savoy Place. This was a celebration of the achievements of all the team and an opportunity for students to showcase their products and share ideas. The afternoon began with the students exhibiting their products to the IET judges and peers, and then the students voted for their favourite product. The team with the most votes received the ‘Aspiring Engineers Choice Award’

There were speeches from Dawn Childs, Group Engineering Director for Merlin Entertainments and Trudy Kilcullen MBE, CEO at the Jack Petchey Foundation before the award ceremony took place. During the ceremony, teams were awarded on their success in seven different categories.
