It’s simple. Just register your school or agency here and we will provide all the assets and materials you need to run the sessions.

Yes! BIMA provides you with all the assets you need – including the challenge sheets and presentation.

This one is completely up to you. Typically, we see class sizes of 30–40 students, but there have been instances where classes could be smaller (anything from 5) to much much bigger (100+).

The bottom line is no. A computer or tablet is useful, to be able to research online or look for information, however the challenge is primarily looking for great ideas.

You will need a room with a screen to show the videos that we have lined up for the sessions. Alternatively, you will be able to share the video link/address with the students. You will need one computer to submit the winning challenge.

Yes we ask you to keep the whole day free for Digital Day.

One entry per school can be submitted into the National competition.

After the final online session, you’ll have 2 weeks to complete and submit your entry.

We’re only accepting entries submitted digitally. If, however, your entry includes drawings, models or other physical elements, we will accept jpg photos of them.

Our judges will be working hard to review every entry promptly. We aim to announce the results by mid-December.

Once you have signed up we will pair you with a local school for the day. We will also provide you with all the assets and materials you need to run the day, all you need to is get in touch with your school to say hello! You then head back to school for the day on 10 November 2021 to help facilitate the day and help students to complete their challenges.

Yes! We ask agencies to keep the whole day on 10 November free for Digital Day. There is a presentation in the morning that will last an hour and the challenges should take up the rest of the day. Please do not plan anything else in for the day.

We ask that agencies send a minimum of two people, however, a good rule of thumb is approx. one person for every 15 students so it is important to find out from your school how many pupils are taking part. If there are more students taking part than is feasible for you, then please let BIMA know so we can send in another agency as well.

Schools will receive their challenge sheets in the post at the beginning of November so keep an eye on your post box. Everything else that you need will be sent to you by email so keep an eye on your inbox.

The challenges change every year but they are always sponsored by brands and focus on real-life issues. To give you an idea last year’s challenge was set by EPAM, a Global Technology company that set students a challenge to raise awareness of the UK’s Food Poverty issues.
