Full details of how to enter the McLaren Automotive category of the 2018 Telegraph UK STEM awards will be published in The Sunday Telegraph on October 1 and on the Telegraph website at www.telegraph.co.uk/STEMawards. After the February 19, 2018, closing date for submissions , the trio of McLaren judges will shortlist up to five of the best entries based on what they feel are the most creative and innovative ideas that meet the challenge. Those who make it through Paul, Simon and Caroline's expert scrutiny will then be invited to the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, where the company designs, develops and hand-assembles its cars to present their ideas in person. After that they will get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour to see at first-hand the work of some of the company's 2,100 strong workforce. McLaren's involvement in the Awards is part of its long-term commitment to encourage the uptake of STEM subjects. That commitment includes a network of McLaren STEM Ambassadors who regularly visit schools, colleges and science fairs, as well as support for schemes that reach younger age-groups, such as the recent BBC Live Lesson on physical forces that was broadcast live from the McLaren Technology Centre to primary schools across the UK. 'We're delighted to support the STEM Awards and for McLaren Automotive to back the automotive technology category. Our judges have set students a challenge that is both stretching and exciting but also one that is very relevant to a forward-thinking company like ours that is about creating the ultimate driving experience and enabling that through the clever deployment of technology,' said Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive. 'The Awards highlight the work McLaren undertakes to promote initiatives to inspire more young people to take up and pursue science, technology, engineering and maths. Backing STEM is also vital to secure the future of the UK's engineering base, which is a key part of a successful, productive economy and vital to the future of a company such as McLaren Automotive, which relies on hiring the best talent to create world-beating products.'
