In particular, do you love inventing new things and ways of doing things? Here at the Science Institute we recognise the importance of people like you to the future of technology and every year we hold a nationwide competition to discover young inventors of the future; people who will shape our future lives. It doesn’t matter whether you’re 11 or 18. There will be prizes for a range of different categories, depending on the type of invention and the age of the entrants, but the main prize will be for the best invention by a team of young scientists on a particular theme. Every year the theme changes. Last year, it was ‘Homes of the Future’ and the winners were a team from Middle Church Secondary School who came up with a new cooking system that used minimal energy and would fit into the smallest space. This year’s theme is ‘Transport’. You can interpret the theme in many ways. You might have an idea for a labour-saving device to use in an existing means of transport – in cars, on a bike, on a plane, etc. Alternatively, you may think of a completely new way of getting around altogether. Now, that would be very interesting, wouldn’t it? Whether your invention is big or small, we want to hear about it. The first thing to do is to form a team at your school and discuss your ideas with your teacher. Remember that the teacher will be there to give you guidance, not to help with ideas. The ideas must be your own. Then, hand in your ideas in writing, showing the processes you went through and your reasons for developing this particular project. We need to receive your idea before the 2nd of April. All entries will be examined by a team of experts and the best one will be chosen by the end of June. You will be informed of the results in early July and the winners will be invited to a prize-giving ceremony at the Ritz Hotel in London on the 15th of August.The first prize is an amazing opportunity for all the team to travel around America using every possible form of transport in existence! Last year’s winners spent a month on a station in the Arctic to see for themselves how their special gloves worked in such freezing temperatures. ‘It was the chance of a lifetime,’ says Pam Parker, one of the lucky team. ‘We had a wonderful time and I’ve come back with so many ideas. I’d recommend entering this competition to everyone. You never know what you can achieve until you try!’So, start thinking, and we look forward to receiving your entries.
