Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all taking part in this event. I’ve loved being involved – answering your questions has made me think about things I’ve never even considered and I’ve learnt so much from looking in to the questions I couldn’t answer straight away. Did you know that processors are currently limited in size by the size of atoms? I didn’t before this week! The other engineers have been wonderful. I fully expected one of them to win after their amazing insights in to the things they work with. I did 3 years of fluid dynamics at university and it’s only during this competition that I’ve understood why it’s useful! Just wish we could all have won… Stay in touch engies! So what am I going to do with the prize money? I’ve spoken to FizzPop in Birmingham and they’d love to use it on a 3D printer. … Continue reading →

The students have spoken. The votes have been double counted… Big congratulations to the Transport Zone winner: Felicity Harer Hard luck to Peter Roskilly but a huge thank you to everyone who took part. You were all brilliant. Students, don’t forget to tell us what you think about science and engineering now you’ve taken part. Log in to your profile, and fill in the questions in the box on the right hand side, to be in with a chance to win a voucher.

We’ve counted, checked and rechecked the votes and now reveal it’s game over for… Olivia Stodieck This leaves just “extroverted, friendly, enthusiastic” Peter and “not good at instructions” Felicity to fight it out for the £500 prize tomorrow. Who would you like to see win tomorrow’s final battle? VOTE

We’ve counted the votes and you’ve now evicted… Joseph Chilcott The engineers left standing after tomorrow’s eviction will battle it out in Friday’s final! Who do YOU want to see in the final? VOTE for your favourite! Students, has taking part changed your view of science and engineering? When you next log in and visit your profile, you’ll see a pink box with 4 questions on the right. Fill in the questionnaire to be in with a chance to win a voucher.

The first engineer you’ve evicted is… Lauren Dransfield One engineer will be evicted every day this week, and you get a new vote each day. Make sure to VOTE to keep your favourite in the competition. A student in each zone will win a voucher for asking great questions! And remember, you can comment on questions the engineers answer. Do you think the engineer is right? Do you disagree with them? Tell them!
