Solutions For The Planet National Final
In June, our year 9 students participated in the National Final for Solutions for the Planet which took place at the Science museum in London. It was a fantastic experience which resulted in a Special Commendation from the judges, who appreciated the sustainable business idea created by our pupils. The idea consists of a bike (BioBike) which uses kinetic energy to create electricity to charge household items. Our students received support from Tarmac mentors and even fitness celebrities such as Emily Chan, who came up with suggestions and live feedback on their business plans. The Science Museum was a great venue to hold the final and we very much enjoyed having a look around. This year there were 3000 students from all over the country who submitted a business idea to S4TP but only 40 of them made it to the final. This is a huge achievement for our pupils.
