Technology Competition First Round Winners!

We were delighted to receive some great news this morning! Our P5-7’s have been taking part in The Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) Faraday Competition and so far we have 3 first round winners!

The competition is being run by the IET and Airbus. The challenge is to design a new technology to help a disaster zone in the world.

Well done to Brooke Murray, Emma Johnstone and Emma Young.

Brooke designed a PPE vending machine for use in the current Covid-19 global pandemic.

         

 

Emma J designed an all terrain rescue vehicle which can be a boat or a land vehicle powered by a quad, fully fitted to provide emergency medical treatment .

       

Emma Y designed a hurricane shelter equipped with resources needed to survive. Emma’s shelter can be moved anywhere by plane and lowered into an area using a winch line.

     

Well done girls – we are all really proud of you! We eagerly await to see if your entries are selected for the next round.

P5-7’s you can still enter the competition until the end of this week.
