b'4| Inspiring Future EngineersFaradayNow studying for their A Levels, the team have vivid memories of the competition and how it impacted them.Challenge The Smart Cycle Challenge was to use a 3D printer to design and create a prototype Smart Beacon to send information to cyclists. Fittingly the National Final was held at the iconic Day Impact velodrome in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.Seeing a concept in our heads be brought to fruition was an amazing experience. In school we didnt get that much direct exposure to actual practical engineering projects, so for us to be able to create our own product was great. I will always remember feeling honoured to be allowed to use the 3D printing technology in the challenge. It was something I had only seen on TV and in magazines and being allowed to use it myself was incredible, said Emillie.I have chosen to study engineering at university and I have always said that my excitement for Five years on from their victorySTEM was sparked by my involvement in the in the 2014/15 Faraday ChallengeFaraday Challenge.Team-mate Amelia, who is studying maths, Day season, we caught up withcomputer science, physics and history at A Level, the winning team from Ulverstonadded that her most memorable moment was:Seeing our design completed and working, having Victoria High School in Cumbria. started from an initial idea and worked throughout the day developing and evolving our design.It inspired me to continue studying maths to A Level as it demonstrated just how useful STEM subjects can really be in real-life situations.'
