Winners of the National Science & Engineering Competition 2011 announced.
Congratulations to Hannah Eastwood, who was named the UK Young Scientist of the Year, and Andrew Cowan, who was named the UK Young Engineer of the Year in this year’s National Science & Engineering Competition at The Big Bang: UK Scientists’ & Engineers’ Fair.
Hannah’s project explores how chromium can be removed from drinking water, in order to purify tap water and reclaim it for the steel industry where it is a valuable resource.
Andrew’s project is a Search and Rescue Robot. This low-cost project includes a camera and fire extinguisher which allows the user to control the robot and view environmental information from a remote control panel.
Both winners have broken records this year. Hannah, from Loreto College in Coleraine, is the first girl to be awarded any senior title in the Competition and Andrew, from Sutton Grammar School for Boys, is the only competitor to have won a prize in every age category for the last three years.
Their projects were judged by some of the top engineers and scientists, and awarded by Government Chief Scientific Adviser Sir John Beddington.
Hannah and Andrew have excelled in their fields and are set to enjoy great future prospects given their enthusiasm and commitment.
