Reflective Journal
The BiG Challenge Reflective Journal covers all of the final awards as well as giving you the chance to tell us about the skills you have learnt, the experiences you have had and how you have overcome any challenges.
Students should download the guide to get started - each slide will give you tips to help you make sure you include all the things that the BiG challenge judges will be looking for at the end of the competition. You can use photos or videos; you can upload slides or write an account. You can choose the ways in which you tell us your story. Feel free to add more slides!
Deadline for entries: 4pm on Sunday 19 February 2023
