Faraday Challenge at Ampleforth College

On 19 January six J5 pupils participated in the Faraday Challenge at Ampleforth College.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology Faraday Challenge Days give pupils the opportunity to research, design and make prototype solutions to genuinely tough engineering problems. They enable young pupils to experience working as an engineer for a day and show the benefits of careers within Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed applying their physics and DT knowledge to their problem-solving tasks and enthusiastically pitched their prototype while adhering to the success criteria. They impressed the judge and shocked themselves by winning the task! Well done to Clara, Will, Ben, Amber Lizzy and Chris; you made Ms. Green-Harding very proud!
