30 teams were matched against each other in three age groups at the event which was held at Charterhouse School, Godalming. Each team of young people aged between 11 and 19 was given a folder of materials and 90 minutes to build a device that would lift a payload (a packet of Love Hearts) as quickly as possible. The teams who reached the final had taken part in the competitive regional heats last month involving 80 schools from across the region.
The enthusiasm for this event grows every year, and SATRO is indebted to the supporters who have contributed towards the funding of the Challenge, namely Allianz, The Manly Trust, Institute of Chemical Engineers, Frazer-Nash Consultancy, Lilly, and the Worshipful Company of Armourers and Braziers.
Awards were presented as follows: Reigate Grammar School for the Year 7 - 9 category, with Reed’s School as runners up; Duke of Kent School won the Year 10 – 11 group with The Royal Grammar as runners up, and Trinity School won the Year 12 – 13 group with Gordon’s School as runners up.
A special prize for the highest score at this year’s heats went to the Year 12 - 13 team from Gordon’s School.
