Dear Teacher,
We would like to invite you to attend the Faraday Challenge Day at the Rutherford Appleton
Laboratory on Tuesday 12 May. The day will run from 9:15 until 15:00.
Faraday Challenge Days are part of a nationwide scheme run by the Institute of Engineering and
Technology. The one day STEM activity is designed for teams of six students in Year 8 (ages
12-13). The students will research, design and make prototype solutions to tough engineering
problems.
The winners of each event win prizes for themselves and a trophy for their school. The top three
teams from across the UK will win an all-expenses paid trip to the National Final in June 2015,
where they will compete for a cash prize of up to £1,000 for their school.
Photos may be taken on the day and may be used for press, publicity and use on our website. If
you or any of your students have any issues regarding the use of photos please contact us in
advance and we can make alternative arrangements.
Booking is essential. If you would like to attend, please complete the application form overleaf.
Booking will be open until Monday 16 March and after this closing date, places will be allocated
by a lottery. Applications submitted after this time will not be accepted.
Once we have received and processed the applications we will be sending out more information
on the event, but if you would like more information please feel free to contact me or go to the
IET’s webpage: www.faraday.theiet.org/stem-activity-days/faraday-challenge-days/index
We look forward to welcoming you and your students on site.
Best wishes,
