Four more projects that will be showcased at this year’s KM Bright Spark Awards have been announced.
The dragons’ den-style event will let students showcase their cool science projects in front of a panel of industry experts.
The event takes place at the Discovery Park, Sandwich and is supported by the science faculty at the University of Kent and the STEM team at Canterbury Christ Church University.
Schools will have their work filmed in advance with a version screened at the science showcase.
Students from Dartford Grammar School have created the Estudo App which allows digital revision flashcards to be created and shared between students.
Invicta Grammar School students in Maidstone have created a scale model F1 car that is powered by a gas canister.
A group of students from Simon Langton boys’ school, Canterbury have entered the LUCID project which measures radiation in the low earth orbit and assesses how environmental factors alter the amount of radiation detected.
Lucas Gurney from Dartford Grammar School has entered his Mathie App which can be used on a smartphone and throws out quick-fire maths questions at the user who swipe left or right to indicate if the problem on the screen is correct or not.
Simon Dolby from the KM Charity Team said: “All the science projects that will be showcased at the KM Bright Spark Awards are of an excellent standard and these latest four are no exception. This is an exciting event and all of the team and sponsors are really looking forward to it.”
Also supporting the event are Betteridge and Milsom Ltd, Hectic Lifestyles and Integrated Technologies Ltd, but extra sponsors are needed for the event.
