George Slater (Faraday Delivery Lead) sharing expertise The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Faraday Challenge Day is a national initiative designed to inspire and engage young people in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. Pupils are given the opportunity to tackle real-world engineering challenges, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. Through hands-on activities, they work in teams to develop solutions, pushing the boundaries of their knowledge while building essential life skills.

EBP are working in partnership with IET to deliver The Faraday Challenge Day across Cornwall. The IET Faraday® Challenge Days are cross-curricular STEM activity days designed for Year 8 students in England and Wales, S1/S2 students in Scotland and Year 9 students in Northern Ireland. IET Faraday® Challenge Days are held at Schools, Organisations and Universities around the UK.


The IET Faraday® Challenge Days are an annual competition that introduces students to engineering, inspires them to consider engineering as a career and helps to develop their practical and employability skills, including team working, problem solving and creative thinking.

The winners of each IET Faraday® Challenge Day will win a trophy for their school and gain a place on the national league table. The top teams from across the UK will be invited to the National Final at the end of the season to compete for a cash prize of up to £1,000 for their school to spend on STEM activities.
