Faraday '09 - Uncover the Real Stars of Sport
The IET Faraday informs young people about the world of science, engineering and technology and inspires them to become involved in it. The engagement of young people and teachers is through a programme of specially made films, student challenges, school visits and teaching resources. Resource materials are available free to all schools throughout the year through a high quality, interactive website. Students will create their own competition entries and compete for fantastic prizes.There are also the action-packed Faraday Engineering Challenge Days which are creative and inspiring opportunities for schools to take part in around the country. Winners from the days will be chosen to attend the live Faraday Challenge Final to compete for the 'Faraday Team of the Year' award. This will be held in London during the first UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair in March 09. Every year, the IET Faraday explores different aspects of science and engineering to highlight the diversity and excitement of this high technology profession. In 2008/9 the theme is engineering in sport. Inspiring role models will reinforce the image of engineering as a worthwhile, interesting and varied career choice.
