Hi! I’m Arno and I’m with the Aquanauts.
We’re wild about water and how to make sure there’s enough for everyone who needs it now and in years to come.
Here at Aquanaut Central, we keep an eye on what’s happening to our water, looking at new innovations and what we and YOU can do to help!
Discover why water is so important, where it comes from, and how we can make sure there’s enough for everyone in the future.
Learn how water travels to your taps, what happens to it after we use it and why things like FOG (that’s Fats, Oils, and Grease!) cause problems in our sewers.
You’ll also explore cool ideas like turning seawater into fresh water and recycling greywater from showers and sinks. Plus, ever wondered how astronauts get water in space?
What water solution could YOU design to help make the world a better place?
Listen below to find out more.
Over to you. Are you ready to change the world? Here’s your chance to turn your ideas into reality.
Here’s your mission:
- Imagine an engineering solution to overcome one of the water challenges we explored.
- Draw or describe your idea in 200 words or less.
The most inspiring entries will get the chance to present their idea to a panel of real-life engineers, a bit like Dragon’s Den! Winning entries will also be featured in a special podcast episode and our overall winner will get a family ticket for 4 to Thorpe Lakes Watersports Park!
Submit your idea and show the world how your engineering brilliance can make a difference!
Competition closes midday on Monday 24th March, 2025.
Tickets must be booked in 2025 for Thorpe Lakes Watersports Park.
Remember to always ask a parent or guardian before filling in forms online.
