Huge congratulations today to first-time entrants to the UK Space Design Competition, Heanor Gate Science College and Lady Manners School, who won the Derbyshire Regional Heat on Saturday.  Students from the two schools had not met before the competition day as the schools were paired when they asked to take part but couldn’t gather enough team members.  The schools have secured the fourth of seven Regional Heat winners’ slots for the UK Finals.

Louis Lyle, event judge, asked that all participating schools from the Derbyshire Regional Heat were commended.  The standard of presentations was exceptionally high and judging the competition a real challenge!
