Fife STEM Superhero Competition (Miss Samfat)
Many thanks for all the fantastic competition entries we received from across S1/S2 Business and Computing classes. Your STEM superhero designs were well thought out and would definitely solve a world problem. We have just heard back from the competition organisers who said they had over 300 high quality entries for the S1-S3 category from across the Fife schools.
I am delighted to say that Olivia Greig in S1 was the winner of the S1-S3 category. Olivia will receive a certificate and her superhero design will be recreated digitally and added to a personalised item which she will receive soon. She has also won the school £200 to spend on STEM equipment. A massive congratulations to Olivia.
I am also happy to announce that Teddy Duckett in S2 was the runner up in the S1-S3 category. An honourable mention was also given to Noel Lamont in S1. Both will also receive certificates for their excellent entries.
Certificates will be presented during the year group assemblies next week.
