ST GEORGE’S SCHOOL MEDIA RELEASE

 

TUESDAY 22nd APRIL 2011

 

 

CRANE DESIGN IN DIRTY WASTE EXERCISE WINS TOP PRIZE

 

PUPILS IDEAS TO SAVE ENVIRONMENT CAPTURES DESIGNERS’ EYE

 

GIFTED TECHNOLOGY 6th FORMERS REAP REWARD

 

 

Saving an area from environmental catastrophe won St George’s students individual awards and the area’s Shield at the local Rotary Technology 2011 Challenge.

 

Chris Grassick (right), Harry Merick (centre) and Kathyrn Godfrey Evans all aged 17 and studying A level Design constructed a bridge in a gruelling day’s competition to build from the most basic materials ‘a crane to safely transport toxic waster from a train wreckage without loss.’

 

After presenting their designs to the judges they were delighted to win first prize and secure the shield for the best design.

 

 

They urged next year’s A level Technology students to enter the competition because “it really stretches you into making decisions on the spot and engages you in risk taking about which we hear so much these days when planning a new idea.”
