Surrey Schools Problem Solve

Secondary Schools and Colleges from all over the County are competing in SATRO’s annual event to find the Problem Solving Champions of Surrey. 

On Wednesday 1st February 2012, 210 students from 17 local schools competed at St Bede’s School, Redhill in the first of five heats to find this year's champions.

Teams of six pupils have one and a half hours to construct the best solution to the problem set by the judges. 

The winners and runners up will meet at the County Final to be held at Charterhouse. Winners of the Heat in the 11-14 age group were The Warwick School, with Reigate Grammar School runners up.  The prize for the 15-16 age group was won by City of London Freemen’s School with Bishop David Brown School in second place.  St Bede’s School took top place for the 17-18 age group with Reigate College as runners up.

Judges are volunteers from engineering employers and organisations in the county provided by SATRO, who are keen to promote enthusiasm for science and technology in schools and amongst the public generally.
