Kelvin Craig, Gareth Evans, Gabby Jackson, Conor McHugh and Fraser Thomson took part in the Young SET (Science, Engineering and Technology) Ambassadors Challenge this year ... and won! This is a competition run by Edinburgh University and open to all schools throughout the Lothians. The project brief that the team were given was to select an area of the school and propose a way of making a significant saving in the consumption of energy.
The project lasted for 4 months and the team worked extremely hard to produce a detailed report and model. They were assigned a mentor from Scottish & Newcastle Ltd (Mr Darren Goodwin) who attended many of their team meetings and supported them throughout the project.
On Friday 8th May they returned to Edinburgh University for the final, where they presented their work to the panel of judges. Competition was fierce, but the team were brilliant and won 1st prize...a whopping £1000.00 for Knox Academy.
The team will now progress to the CREST Awards which is a Scotland wide competition. We wish them every success and sincerely congratulate them on their efforts to date. Thanks must also go to Miss Leggatt who has worked with the team throughout the project.
