STUDENTS from a school have reached the final of a national schools' competition.
The pupils from Oakhill School and Nursery in Clitheroe have been announced as one of twelve finalist teams for the BP Ultimate STEM Challenge.
The national competition, launched in partnership with STEM Learning in June 2017, challenges UK students aged 11-14 to put their Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) skills to the test by tackling real-world energy problems.
This year’s competition theme – My Sustainable Future – challenged young people to develop solutions to one of three real-world challenges: Handy Hydro, Parched Plants or Brilliant Biogas.
All the challenges were designed to encourage students to think about how they could help to reduce natural resource use or bring down greenhouse gas emissions.
Christopher, James and Matthew developed their best ideas for the Brilliant Biogas challenge, where they had to build a system that generates biomethane from food waste.
The final is set to be held at the Science Museum in London on Monday, March 12.
