Bright Spark Awards

The Bright Spark Awards are staged to help make science cool. Students are encouraged to collaborate using cross-curricular skills in maths, IT, science and engineering to innovate and create.

Competition categories are: Innovation, Investigation, and Invention.

• There is no limit to the number of entries a school or even a group of students can submit, but each entry will be judged separately.

Finalists will be invited to the annual awards event, which is run in a dragons’ den-style format. The students will be filmed in advance in school to show the detail of the project. This is screened before the students take to the stage to describe their creation and dragons quiz the youngsters on their initiative. Different panels of dragons will judge the varying categories or year groups and award trophies and experience prizes to the students and schools.

Overall Bright Spark Awards champions will win a top prize of £500.

Nominations for the Bright Spark Awards must be received by noon on Friday 31 May 2019
