St George’s Edinburgh – Talent 2030 National Engineering Competition

01 Mar 2019

A member of our Lower 6, Imisi, has won first place in the Talent 2030 National Engineering Competition (15-16 age group). With her cousin in Plymouth, Imisi  investigated ways in which recycling plastic can aid refugees.

The girls melted some plastic into a brick to show that refuse could be used to build houses and boats, then created computational models of their designs. The innovative duo created a website of their project at www.reuserethinkrepair.weebly.com.

They have now been invited to attend the Big Bang Fair in March to present their research to the judges and other winners.
