Judging at the Big Bang Fair South West

Judge at The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Competition

A highlight in the STEM calendar is The Big Bang South West.  Last year over 80 incredible student projects were presented to judges who are all fantastic ambassadors for science, technology, engineering and maths.  The feedback from judges is always overwhelmingly positive with many commenting on just how impressed with work the South West’s brilliant young minds are producing.

We’re looking for experienced judges and of course welcome new judges to this superb day.  Training is delivered on the day so no previous experience is required.

Date – 27th June 2018

Venue – University of the West England (UWE)

Time – 8.30am – 1pm

Our judges said;

“I have to be honest, I enjoyed the day far more than I had hoped. I am also looking forward to helping again next year”.

“I did enjoy the day – very much!  How wonderful to meet so many young people with so much talent“.

“I thought it was brilliant, the students had such great ideas, and some of them really should be taken into mainstream.”

“I was a first time judge at the Big Bang SW event yesterday and just wanted to compliment you all on a job well done. I had an immensely enjoyable time and the students we met and projects we saw were brilliant. It is so refreshing to meet such enthusiastic young people dedicated to their projects and producing such impressive end products.  The passion of one particular student for the field of architecture was a particular highlight to me, it was a good reminder of exactly why I ended up in engineering and actually reignited my enthusiasm for the field.”
