Equinor Young Imagineers is a competition, run in partnership with the Science Museum, that celebrates the most creative young minds in science, technology, engineering and maths!
They’re asking you a key question and they’re after your most creative answers!
The question is this: ‘What invention would you create, to make tomorrow’s world a better place?’
Some of the past winners have created wheelchairs that hover to make moving around easier and a solar powered pollution sucking robot pigeon!
To enter the competition, all you need to do is download the entry form from the Equinor Young Imagineers website!
Entrants need to simply sketch their invention and describe it in up to 100 words.
Ten finalists will be shortlisted and invited to the Science Museum in November to share their inventions in more detail with the Young Imagineers panel of judges in front of a live audience.
Let’s meet the judges!
