Have you ever thought of an app that could solve real life problems using Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths?

Envision a problem in the STEM universe that you'd love to unravel - perhaps crafting a robotic friend, unlocking the potential of renewable energy, or conjuring a virtual science lab.

Submit your entry to info@makeithappen.club by 31st May 2024. The winner will be chosen by the Make It Happen panel and announced on the 6th June. The winning app will be showcased as part of GSF at the Riverside Museum.

The winning entry will be assisted by expert designers and engineers to build their app. They will help finalise the designs, code it and ship it! View previous winners on the Make It Happen website for inspiration.
