The Big Bang Competition has opened applications for volunteer judges and moderators, offering the chance to help discover the engineers and scientists of the future.
The Competition celebrates curious minds and rewards young people's achievements in all areas of science, technology, engineering and maths.
Competitors enter their projects online for the chance to take part in the Competition Finals, and compete for amazing prizes and accolades, including the chance to become UK Young Scientist of the Year and UK Young Engineer of the Year.
“It’s really exciting seeing the creativity, passion and determination of the next generation of scientists and engineers, and gives a lot of hope for the future!” - Big Bang volunteer judge

Volunteering offers the chance to give back to your profession, while supporting the ambitions of young engineers and scientists of the future.
“It’s giving something back to the profession that I have enjoyed over a number of years. Encouraging young people to take up STEM is an ongoing challenge for our profession, so it is good to be able to feel that you are doing something constructive towards helping that process.”
