Design and Make Corporate Challenge

Building on this success, the event offers businesses a unique opportunity to bring their teams together, develop practical engineering skills and take on an exciting hands-on challenge.

Held at the Junction Building, University of Warwick, can your team rise to the challenge and beat the competition?

Bring along your early-career engineers, apprentices and supervisors to put their skills to the test in a fresh and exciting engineering challenge. Show what your team can achieve!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Morning Masterclasses: Kick off the day with targeted, 60–90-minute interactive training sessions covering problem-solving in real world environments, teamwork, collaboration, and motivation.

The Hands-On Challenge: Working in a team of four, participants receive a secret brief and raw materials. Working together, teams must analyse the brief, design prototypes, build their solution, and test it on our assessment rig.

Recognition & Certification: Conclude with certificates of attendance and achievement recognising successful team collaboration and engineering solutions.

WHY INVOLVE YOUR BUSINESS?

Targeted CPD & Team Building: Ideal for apprentices, early-career engineers, newly appointed
supervisors, or emerging teams looking to bond and sharpen structured problem-solving skills.

Boost Your CSR Credentials: 100% of receipts go directly toward funding the student Design & Make Challenge, helping inspire the next generation of engineers and bridging the industry skills gap.

Networking Opportunities: Meet teams of other like minded engineers across the manufacturing sector. If you participate as a single entrant, you will get the chance to work with entrants from other companies and together build on the training you have received earlier in the day.
