  STEMNET and the Paralympic Torch Relay Team are challenging 11-14 year olds to create a spark to light the Paralympic Flame by the energy of human endeavour.

  The Challenge is to design a spectacular human-powered invention for creating the spark which lights the Paralympic Flame. For the Challenge entries, pupils must produce a design for their device and present to a panel of judges. Pupils will need to provide enough evidence to convince the judges that their invention will work.
  
  

  The top 8 teams from across the UK will be selected to compete in the National Final on Saturday 17^th March 2012 at The Big Bang: UK Science and Engineering Fair at the NEC in Birmingham.
