Abstract
The top five teams from the 2018-19 season league table attended the IET Faraday Challenge Day National Final on Wednesday 10 July at The Royal Observatory in Edinburgh to compete for the season’s winning title and £1000 for their school. This year’s challenge was in association with the James Webb Space Telescope and tasked teams to assist the engineering mission of the James Webb Space Telescope and design and develop a prototype that included an electrical circuit.
One-hundred and eighty-nine events took place across the UK to host the 2018-19 IET Faraday Challenge Days. Up to six teams of year 8 school students competed at each event to find the best solution to the engineering-related challenge.
