A group of students from Kingdown School has received an Honourable Mention after reaching the final of a national design competition.
Design club students Rose, Faye, Lily, Lilly, Becci and Eleanor were selected as one of 10 finalist teams in the V&A Innovate National Schools Challenge, after their design was chosen from 166 entries submitted by 37 schools across England.
The team pitched their interchangeable modular building system, which is designed to allow schools to create seating, tables and shelter for students, to a panel of industry experts.
“Our students’ project, Breaktime Comfort, was recognised by the judges in the Join category,” said Harriet Rose, who ran the club for the competition.
“The team impressed with their thoughtful approach to sustainability, exploring how recycled plastics and circular economy principles could be used to create innovative benches and shelters for school communities.
“This recognition is a fantastic achievement and reflects the creativity, teamwork, problem-solving and dedication shown by our students throughout the project. To be singled out by the judges in a national competition of this calibre is something they should be immensely proud of.”
The V&A Innovate Challenge is a nationwide design competition that asks teams of students to develop creative, sustainable solutions to real-world problems.
