International STEM Youth Innovation competition
BIEA International STEM Youth Innovation Competition
The BIEA International STEM Youth Innovation Competition is an event for students aged 6-21, organised by the British International Education Association (BIEA) and supported by the UK science experts community, such as UCL, Imperial College and the Royal Institution. It aims to raise the level of technological enthusiasm among students from all over the world as well as to stimulate students’ passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The competition builds bridges between science, technological innovation, education, and young people across a variety of industries. The competition is held every summer with a new science and innovation theme picked every year. The first event took place in 2018 and was only open to British students with the theme of creating a drone for a rescue situation.
2019 was the first international competition, with student teams from around the world taking part to design and develop drones in the battle of protecting wild and endangered animals. The finals of the competition were held in the Royal Air Force Museum, London in July 2019.
Since 2020, the competition has moved online, allow teams from around the world to showcase their projects to a global audience. With support from our partners, BIEA is hosting several face-to-face events throughout the year, bringing students and industry experts together.
