Over the course the year some of our amazing Year 9 students have been working alongside the Cumbria Youth Alliance completing the Bridging Horizons project. This project is designed to help students realise their future ambitions in Civil Engineering and the different career pathways available to them in this sector.
The students have completed lots of activities including building a Da Vinci bridge, making arches and viaducts and even investigating the leaning tower of Pisa.
All of this culminated in the Inter School Challenge last week. In this competition our students were set an infrastructure challenge and asked them to plan and make a project as well as setting themselves into clear defined roles within the challenge.
Our talented students walked away with the honour of being crowned winners and a £300 cheque.
To say we are very proud would be a huge understatement. Well done to all involved in the whole project!
Those who took part were Oliver G, Joseph O, Rylan T, Robbie S, Evan C, Maya D, Bella T, Ciara T, Ella S and Kimberley O. Callum R also took part in the project but didn’t attend the competition day.
Pictured below are the winning team with their trophy:
