The students have spoken. The votes have been double counted… Big congratulations to the Ampere Zone winner: Emma Ryan Hard luck to Andy Woods and Andres Rivero but a huge thank you to everyone who took part. You were all brilliant. Students, don’t forget to tell us what you think about science and engineering now you’ve taken part. Log in to your profile, and fill in the 4 questions in the box on the right hand side, to be in with a chance to win a voucher.

We’ve counted, checked and rechecked the votes and now reveal it’s game over for… Shahil Juggernath This leaves just “very, very chatty” Emma Ryan, “smart, hardworking and fun” Andy Woods and “organised, learner, curious” Andres Rivero to fight it out for the £500 prize tomorrow.

We’ve counted the votes and you’ve now evicted… Sheryl Williams The engineers left standing after tomorrow’s eviction will battle it out in Friday’s final. Who do YOU want to see in the final? VOTE for your favourite! Students, has taking part changed your view of science and engineering? When you next log in and visit your profile, you’ll see a pink box with 4 questions on the right. Fill in the questionnaire to be in with a chance to win a voucher.  

The first engineer you’ve evicted is… Zoe Lonsdale One engineer will be evicted every day this week, and you get a new vote each day. Make sure to VOTE to keep your favourite in the competition. A student in each zone will win a voucher for asking great questions! And remember, you can comment on questions the engineers answer. Do you think the engineer is right? Do you disagree with them? Tell them! There was a small window today where our emails weren’t going out as they should, so make sure you go to your profile to check to see if your questions have been answered. Remember you can ask more questions.
