| CREST Silver Science Award |
For those interested in studying science at university or taking 2+ science A-levels, this program aims to take the students through the whole academic research process including:
– Choosing a problem
– Justifying the importance of solving the problem by exploring its impact on society
– Researching ways to solve it
– Performing preliminary tests which will be used to inform the method of the final experiment
– Learning to handle, analyse and present data
– Learning how to write in both the journal and report formats, as well as how to make engaging presentations and posters

Arkwright Engineering scholarship
|
An award that encourages you to go on to read Engineering at university or college. It will help you to do well in your A levels through enrichment and mentoring. All scholars are given many opportunities to attend ‘engineering experience days’ or to network with other engineers and scholars. This can lead to enhanced job opportunities. All scholars are given money – currently £600 – to put towards their engineering endeavours (projects, equipment etc.) during Yrs 12 & 13. |

Davidson Inventors Challenge
|
A collaborative school outreach initiative between the department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge and the Association of Science Technology and Innovation (ASTI) in Malaysia, and also supported by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). This school competition is aimed at students in UK schools interested in STEM. The theme is sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations to address global challenges. The teams are required to first select a challenge/problem area they’d like to work on from a list of sustainable development goals and come up with a potential sustainable and innovative solution. See more on previous winning innovative solutions and information on the challenge and registration https://www.ceb.cam.ac.uk/events/davidson-inventors-challenge-2022-2023 |
