On the evening of 21 March, some 170 students from 26 schools in Surrey and its environs converged on the Hall at Charterhouse School, Godalming for the much-anticipated final of the 2013 SATRO Problem Solving Challenge. The teams, all of whom were winners and runners-up from five area heats that took place in February, were set a challenge to build a device powered by an electric motor that would descend a gentle slope as quickly as possible.
The winning teams from Heathside, Prior's Field, St George's College and Overton Grange were awarded medals, certificates and a cash prize for their school. Results were announced by television personality Jon Tickle, and among those present to congratulate the teams were the High Sheriff of Surrey, Mrs Karin Sehmer, the Mayor and Mayoress of Waverley, and two of the events sponsors: Margaret Manly from the Manly Trust, and Andy Milton from Frazer-Nash Consultancy.
We're proud that SATRO has once again inspired students to use initiative, creativity and teamwork in an event that celebrates the National Science & Engineering Week.
