Support your school's bright sparks

There are two weeks left to enter the KM Bright Spark Awards and give budding young scientists the chance to enter the dragon's den and win top prizes

The deadline to submit pupils' science projects for the all-new contest is noon on Friday, June 5.

Projects eligible for entry require a team of pupils to use any of the following skills: maths, IT, science, electronics, engineering, and design and technology. The three competition categories are Innovation, Investigation and Invention.

Finalists will be invited to an exciting Dragons' Den-style event where they will describe their creation to a panel of 'dragons' in a bid to win trophies and other prizes. The overall winners will receive £500.
 
Tom Cole, CEO of Integrated Technologies Ltd, which is backing the event, said: "The KM Bright Spark Awards are a great way to help the next generation of entrepreneurs to turn that spark of an idea into a growing, thriving business.
 
"The judges will be from both industry and the academic arena and I encourage all schools and pupils to participate in this unique opportunity."

Projects can be nominated by pupils, parents, teachers or other members of school staff. Simply complete the form.

Entrants should include a photo of the group in action with their creation and can optionally include a link to a video detailing their project.
