News Update

We have stared planning the project for next year and it promises to be an exiting and challenging event.

See our Facebook page: Rotary Club of Leeds Technology Tournament for Schools.

Are you or your school or college up for a new challenge in 2027?

The new education year has arrived everyone has new challenges to face. A New class, friends, teacher or dreaded exam!

The country is desperate for engineers to design products or services for the future and over 100,000 new engineers a year are required to replace existing staff due to leave because of retirement. What an opportunity for your future.

Why not challenge yourself from the brief we give you to plan, design and make a working model. A good opportunity to work as a team of 4 and learn from your mistakes as you progress with the building of the model, modify your ideas and have the satisfaction that "you made it".

Engineering covers all aspects of our life and without engineers life would not progress to make things easier and more enjoyable. It is a rewarding career and there is a high demand from industry for new talent.
