Engineers often mend things that aren\u2019t broken! They look at the things we use every day and think how they can be improved. They are creative problem solvers and this is where you come in! After you have found out more about engineering by interviewing an engineer or watching some of the Primary Engineer YouTube videos, it\u2019s time to look for ways to improve the things we use every day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Register on the Leaders Award website and when you are ready, send in your annotated drawing and letter explaining why an engineer should build your idea. All the entries will be taken to engineers to read and then you\u2019ll be sent back a certificate with a grade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do this project at home and in the classroom, so let your teacher know! The best ideas are celebrated in exhibitions and some are even chosen to be made by university partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
