Big Bang Competition: finalists announced

Almost 1,000 young people aged 11 to 18 from across the UK have entered The Big Bang Competition.

Mark Wood, Social Sustainability Lead, Siemens, Great Britain and Ireland, said: “The Big Bang Competition is an opportunity for aspiring designers, technologists, engineers and problem-solvers to showcase their ideas using science, technology, engineering and maths [STEM] to improve our lives.

“As digitisation becomes more crucial and sustainable living more important, the ideas from our young people are inspiring, limitless and practical. Each year, I am amazed by the brilliant ideas and genuine passion they demonstrate.”

Winners will be announced at The Big Bang Fair at the NEC in Birmingham from 17-19 June 2025. The annual Big Bang Fair is the largest celebration of STEM for young people aged 10 to 13 in the UK. Through hands-on activities, incredible shows and career panels, the fair inspires students to pursue diverse careers in STEM.
