This activity is designed for teams of two pupils to work in a classroom or school hall using a national challenge set by Young Engineers. The outcomes are judged and the team with the highest score is declared the winner. The Humber EBLO holds 25 kits for each participating school to borrow. Each year a different group of 20 schools are invited to take part, all receiving a free kit for their school. |
