Situation
GESIPA have recently launched a brand new Rivet tool called the i-Bird Pro. The new i-Bird is a smart tool that can be connected to a smartphone or tablet using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth via the GESIPA app. Gesipa would like a stand to hold the tool and accessories on a desktop, as either a workstation or a display stand.

- The display stand or workstation must have the GESIPA logo prominent.
- It must be able to hold the tool in a safe and stylish free standing manner.
- There should be adequate space for a spare battery and the charger.
- There should be space for the smart device.
Rules
- The competition can be run in school or at home, any time in the Spring Term, between Christmas and Easter.
- The final submission date to Keighley Association of Engineers is 9.00am on Monday 29th April 2019 to allow time for judging before our annual dinner and award presentation.
