STUDENTS from Worthing College have received a £600 grant so they can take part in the UK finals of a science and engineering competition.
The money has come from Adur and Worthing Business Partnership and will pay for transport and accommodation costs for the six students, aged 17 to 19.
They are Charlie Winkley, Kai Bass, Aya Nasr, Harrison Ball, Ben Smithbury and Hannah Dunn.
The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Competition finals is being held at Birmingham’s NEC next week.
The team was one of the winners of the regional heats at The Big Bang Fair South East with its project “Standardisation of components within tablet manufacturing”.
As part of this, the team had to design a system to identify each component of equipment used in the transfer and weight of Augmentin, an antibiotic.
