Along with the number of disruptions we've faced this year due to the pandemic, this year's Big Bang Competition is running a little differently, as you might expect. Young people throughout the past 15 months have shown great resilience and determination -coping with multiple lockdowns, periods of remote learning and restricted access to equipment. The pandemic has also made working together hard to organise. While we've done our best to support young people, including through a new mentoring scheme with support from Network Rail, we were concerned how all these challenges would affect young people entering the Big Bang Competition. In fact, we at EngineeringUK have been marvelling at the quality of entries received for the Big Bang Competition this month. Over 200 projects were submitted and that in itself feels like a triumph.
