Competition
Give your students the chance to shape our world this autumn in an exciting digital civil engineering competition!
Secondary
The ICE CityZen competition is an easy-to-run structured activity supported throughout by an ICE STEM Ambassador, either online or in-person.
It takes place yearly in the autumn term, and makes an ideal extra-curricular activity for students aged 16 to 18 making critical decisions about their futures.
The competition is in 2 parts:
“It not only taught me new skills but was fun and interactive”

I cannot recommend this competition enough! ICE provided a civil engineer as a mentor, and she supported our students to work through the competition stages, giving practical advice and support to ensure that they made progress and developed their understanding of Civil Engineers so that their video entries were relevant and appropriate. As a non-specialist teaching Physics A-level I found this competition hugely helpful in motivating the students with the subject. The student enjoyed the online game scenarios too. 5/5, 100% - and FREE!! Give it a shot!!
