The students split up into teams to represent Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and competed against other schools in Cumbria and Lancashire.

The challenges included designing a chemical reaction with a specific completion time, completing a maths treasure hunt, building a wind turbine and prototyping a smart musical instrument using computing technology. The students worked exceptionally hard, applying the skills and knowledge they had learnt in their subjects at school. It was a great experience to use the facilities and resources at the university and to get a taster of the campus environment.

Congratulations to the Technology team for achieving 1^st place in their challenge!
