Prizes

Prizes in the week

There will be a prize for the best communicated solution in each Hub!

Where the team’s Report and Presentation are marked as a distinction and provided the team members have contributed fully, then members will be awarded a distinction.

The Trish Murray prize for professional behaviours

This is about the team’s performance in the Wednesday Boardroom as decided by the alumnus

Take your project further

If you choose to work on one of the Makers Valley-themed projects, you can take your project further and compete against students nationally and internationally.

The team submitting the best report in each hub will also be invited to submit an amended report for selection to represent Sheffield in the EWB Engineering for People Design Challenge national competition. You will have plenty of time after GEC week to work on this with your team if you are interested in representing Sheffield - we can send 5 teams,

More information on this year's Grand Final will be added when it is made available by EWB.

Last year's Grand Final was in London, and students were competing for a £2000 prize. You can find out more about the event and the winning teams here

To give you a heads-up... a lot of the best rated solutions at the Grand Final have been those where students made prototypes that the audience can see and interact with.
