On a very foggy Saturday morning; Mr Haldane, Mrs Wrycraft and 12 intrepid BGS students from Year 10 - Year 13 board the school minibus bound for Oxford Brookes University; our mission : the UK Space Science Design Competition.

The task is still secret (there are other heats to be run), but the student team had 7 hours to fully research and design a product for space science research/experimentation with some VERY specific criteria. 

Fourteen schools took part in five teams, we were paired with Wellington Colledge. Sadly our team, Archer Valentine, didn't win but we came in at a very respectable second place. Not at all bad for our first time competing. 

Well done to the Burnham Grammar School team!
