We are excited to report that Celia M in Year 11 has been shortlisted to the final interview stage of the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship. Nationally, only the top-scoring applicants go forward to this interview, so it is a fantastic achievement.
Celia submitted a STEM project focused on a portable wind turbine for use following a storm if electricity has been cut off. In doing so, she addressed two of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals – ‘Affordable & Clean Energy and Sustainable Cities’. Her prototype is an accessible source of renewable energy that improves housing standards in remote areas to recover from extreme weather.
