The competition is open to 16-18-year-old students of a relevant STEM subject (Science. Technology, Engineering.

Design engineers from Triumph Motorcycles have shortlisted 25 finalists from across the UK to exhibit their work during the grand finals. All entrants will have the opportunity to present their projects to senior engineers from the design department at Triumph. The judges are looking for evidence in 6 key areas:
Engineering
Innovation
Corporate responsibility
Communication
Visual design
Commercial awareness
The competition has attracted a huge variety of innovative ideas ranging from a building fire breathing aid to be used in the event of a fire in a high-rise building to a sustainable bird scaring device. which protects crops from birds whilst using solar power.
Out of 25 finalists across the UK, we are delighted to share that some of them are our very own Arkwright Scholars and they were happy for us to share their names and wish them the very best of luck.
