Virtual Faraday Challenge

This season we have extended the Faraday Challenge Day programme to include a Virtual Faraday Challenge to give you more ways to get involved in the programme.

Based on a real-world problem, the Virtual Faraday Challenge brings together STEM subjects in an engaging way and encourages the development of young people’s problem solving and communication skills. It is open for anyone between 7-15, young people can do this at home, in school, individually or as a group or family.
