East London students win Big Science Challenge
Five students from Cumberland School in East London have been named the UK winners of an international science competition
The Big Science Challenge was an international competition run by the British Council and Rolls-Royce. It invited schools in the UK and from Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to research and design an original, innovative solution to a problem concerning water, either locally, nationally or globally.
The winning entry from Cumberland School produced an intelligent system that captures water from a range of household sources including baths, sinks and even steam from showers. It incorporates UV light for purification and hydroelectric fans for power generation within the system.
