This year’s challenge is aimed at KS4 and KS5 students in teams of between 4 and 8 to develop an idea for a product or service that they believe will be the next big thing in one of the four Siemens business areas:
· Industry
· Energy
· Healthcare
· Consumer products
The Challenge has been set with the aims of helping students:
• Be more likely to consider studying STEM and to enter careers in these sectors as a result of their participation
• Be more aware of the working world and the opportunities & skills needed by Siemens as a result of participation
• Have a greater understanding of the application of STEM to real problems.
The Challenge is limited to 12 teams drawn from across Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire.
· Project ‘Kick-off’ on 13th January 2012
· Judging at Siemens on 10th May 2012
All participating teams will also be automatically entered to exhibit their entry at the SATRO Festival of Science and Engineering at Brooklands Museum on the 6th June 2012
