Managed locally by leading Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics #STEM educational charity Sentinus, and hosted in
partnership with The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB NI),
regional heats have been taking place in early 2020 across the UK, ahead
of the national finals at The Big Bang Fair in March.
By building, programming and controlling LEGO robots, the Challenge
introduces student teams to real-world engineering, technology, robotics

careers. Students had to research, design and present their own solution
to a contemporary engineering problem faced by STEM professionals in
the aviation industry.
