A BRADFORD school joined others from across the UK who exhibited their science and engineering projects to MPs and some of the UK’s leading STEM companies at Parliament.
Beckfoot Upper Heaton showcased two engineering projects which they entered into The Big Bang Competition 2021.
The first project, called ‘Grand Challenges – Clean Growth’ combines themes of climate change, energy and future cities and societies. The team produced a social media-style video to demonstrate their understanding of how fuel is used for heating and its environmental impact.
The second scheme ‘Nuture – Eco Phone Case’ which combines themes of digital technology, textiles and sustainability. This project focuses on a solar panelled phone case which will be able to charge mobile phones using natural energy from the sun rather than using electricity.
Dr Hilary Leevers, chief executive of EngineeringUK, which organises The Big Bang Competition, said: “The Big Bang helps engage young people with STEM and the projects on show at Big Bang at Parliament display the very best of their ingenuity in using science and engineering to benefit society.
“The Big Bang Competition highlights how talented the UK’s young scientists and engineers are and we’re really proud to host their work at the Houses of Parliament.”
