EESW Awards and Presentation Days

Congratulations to all teams who took part in the EESW Project 2021-22

This year, 10 teams from North Wales and 46 teams from South Wales completed the Project and took part in the Awards and Presentation day events. The North Wales event was held at Venue Cymru, Llandudno on Thursday 28th April and the South Wales event took place at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday 4th May. The students’ projects were displayed and assessed by volunteer judges who nominated them for awards in a range of categories (please see below for the award nominations and winners). 

We would like to thank all our sponsors, link companies and engineers, assessors, and exhibitors for another successful year of the EESW Sixth Form Project, we are very grateful for your continued support of the scheme.

Well done to everyone involved this year and congratulations to all teams on completing their projects. 

This year, we are pleased that the Project has allowed teachers, engineers, company representatives and volunteer assessors to gain a certificate endorsed by CPD UK in recognition of their time spent working with us.

We are now signing up schools and companies to participate next year, if you’re interested go to our EESW Project page for more information.
