‘In celebration of Tomorrow’s Engineers Week

Stephen Metcalfe MP

On behalf of The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee with Engineering UK

invites you to attend

The Big Bang @ Parliament

Monday 5 November, 1.00 pm – 2.30 pm’

On Monday 5th November, five Year 8 pupils travelled to London to showcase their Big Bang Competition project, ‘The Secret Life of Plastic’, to MP’s, engineering employers and fellow competitors.

The group represented themselves and the school extremely well. They were able to present

their work, discuss ideas fluently with their audience and speak with such passion that they have engaged interest and support from others at the fair. They met Ian Lavery MP who was very impressed with the group’s enthusiasm and is keen to work with the group moving forward on their project.

The next step for them is the The Big Bang Competition Finals in Birmingham in March 2019. The pupils will compete for over £20,000 worth of amazing prizes, including top and runner-up prizes in the Junior category for science and engineering, as well as the coveted titles of UK Young Engineer of the Year and GSK UK Young Scientist of the Year.

Everyone at Newminster is extremely proud of the group and we all have our fingers crossed for the finals in March!
