Commenting on the launch of the award The Engineer’s editor Jon Excell said: “Inspiring the next generation of engineers remains one of industry’s most pressing concerns, and engagement with school-age students is widely viewed as one of the most important and effective ways of achieving this. This prize will spotlight some of the UK’s most successful examples of this engagement in action.”
The Young Innovator trophy is part of The Engineer’s Collaborate To Innovate Awards competition, which aims to uncover and celebrate the UK’s most innovative collaborative engineering projects.
