The 2011 SATRO Festival – a recap
Posted by SATRO on June 29, 2011
The festival has been and gone – and what a day it was! Despite the torrential rain, a fantastic time was had by all. This year, we were particularly honoured to have HRH the Duke of Kent visit all of the exhibiting schools and businesses – and personally congratulate the winners.
We were also fortunate enough to have Brainiac presenter and former Big Brother contestant, Jon Tickle at the festival, speaking to the STEM clubs and entrants about their future job prospects.
We’re also very pleased to announce our winners for the day!
Laurence Rook from Trinity School won the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for his now famous invention – the doorbell that calls your phone and lets you answer as if on an intercom.
Jamie Cox, also from Trinity School, won the Personal Achievement award.
Other winners on the day included Richard Nutton from Farnborough Sixth Form College and teams from Lady Eleanor Holles School, St Bede’s School, Strode’s College, St Peter’s Catholic School and Guilford High School.
The STEM Teacher of the Year award was won by Kate Butler of The Warwick School and Broadwater School was crowned Best Year Nine Stem Club.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to the brilliant STEM clubs and companies who exhibited their projects, to HRH the Duke of Kent, to Jon Tickle and to our main sponsor, CBSbutler.
Here are some of the fantastic pictures and taken on the day – keep checking back for more coming soon!
Jon Tickle also took the time to tell us why he feels the festival is so important!
