On Friday ECS hosted the IET Faraday Challenge. We were very lucky to host it as we had to put in a proposal to host this challenge. The challenge was an aerospace challenge and involved all sorts of flying machines! Sturnminster Newton School from Blanford won the challenge this year. We want to congratulate all the schools who took part and we are looking forward to seeing you next year!
Sturnminster Newton School was a school introduced to us by an Alumni. Chris Speckman was keen to broaden our links with schools in his local area of Blandford. In all honesty I had not targeted these school before as it was not on my radar. Chris and I went into the school to talk about careers and since then the link has turned into a blossoming friendship. We love visiting them and they bring there students to the university.
If any alumni want to work with us to broaden links with their schools we would love to do this! Please get in touch.
