Liskeard School and Community College The Faraday Challenge Day

In a thrilling event, 35 year 8 students showcased their engineering prowess as they participated in the IET Faraday® Challenge Day. This engaging day of innovation, problem-solving, and hands-on engineering exploration provided a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the world of engineering.

The challenge was a whole day of hands on learning, designing and building a prototype of a solution to a real world engineering problem. The students worked through the day, completing ‘apprenticeships’, planning time, engineering sessions and finally presented their work in front of their peers. The students did amazingly well, with their teamwork and STEM skills shining through. All teams were judged across they day throughout their tasks.

One teacher commented, "It was a great day, with all students giving it a 10/10 score and talking about all they had learned".
