The team won this event, beating schools from across the Lothians. The same team, now in S3, then entered their project into the National Science Awards and they have made it to the finals.

They will be going to Manchester for three days in March to attend The Big Bang Fair, and will be competing against teams from across the UK.

Best of luck to the team!
