36 pupils from across Selwood, Oakfield and Avanti took part in the challenge where they spent the morning hearing from volunteers from industry that were there to help judge the competition. The pupils were then given their design brief; to create an innovative and sustainable product that uses batteries for a sporting activity/disabled person or child's toy. The pupils had to assign their own project managers and accountant as well as other roles within their teams. They had the rest of the day to then come up with a project, a working prototype and a 5 minute presentation.
A team from Selwood won the competition and have been put forward for regionals. When all the scores are in we'll know if we will be going to the next event.
