COVID-19 (Coronavirus) update

In light of the rapidly developing health emergency presented by COVID-19 the IET has taken the decision to suspend the delivery of IET Faraday Challenge Days from Monday 16 March 2020 until further notice. We have informed all host schools that the programme is suspended and asked them to cascade the information to visiting schools. Priority will be given next season to those hosts whose challenge days have been cancelled this season.
