Be an Engineer: Dragons Den

A huge well done to all the pupils who took part in our Dragon’s Den event today. Our overall winners are children from:

Early Level: Ness Clan

First Level: Leven Clan

Second Level: Ben Lawers

Our Dragons had a difficult decision for every level. They commented on the confident individuals who presented and pupils showed success in their learning.

Our Dragons were from Morrison construction, Education Scotland STEM team and Heriot Watt Engineering department. A big thank you to them for their time.
