After every activity we ask the winning engineers to write a short post to be sent to all the students who took part in their zone. It’s the perfect way for them to reflect on the previous two weeks, thank all the students for voting for them, and talk about how they plan to use their £500 prize money.

I got much more out the activity than I could have imagined. Some questions really challenged me, and made me think twice about what I do and why I do it. Taking part in I’m an Engineer has definitely further fuelled my appetite to try and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. I was very impressed with the questions you asked, and on your awareness of issues affecting engineering such as climate change and gender balance of the workforce. You will one day be the scientists and engineers who will solve the world’s biggest problems, and, from what I’ve seen these past two weeks, our future is in safe hands.
If you’re up for the challenge, want to answer some thought provoking questions, even learn things from students…
