The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) have been working for many years to encourage more young people to engage in the STEM agenda and to consider engineering as a possible career path. The IET Faraday® Challenge Days are cross-curricular activity days covering Science, Design and Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The IET Faraday® Challenge Days give students the opportunity to research, design and make solutions to real-life engineering problems. The winners of each IET Faraday® Challenge Day will win a trophy for their school and gain a place on the national league table. The top teams from across the UK will get to go through to the National Final at the end of the season to compete for a cash prize of up to £1,000 for their school to spend on STEM activities.
