This afternoon at the Vodafone pavilion students from five of West Berkshires secondary schools took part in the final of a competition that has been going on since the autumn.
The West Berkshire Education Business Partnership has been running competitions amongst year 10 pupils in Park House, Willink, Theale Green, Downs and Trinity schools, - each group of students had to think up a revolutionary new project in the year 2020, develop marketing strategies, a five year plan and financial projection as part of a business plan. I was very impressed at their presentations, and didn't envy the judges task of choosing a winner. The products they dreamt up were: the I-span (a multi use gadget with WiFi connection), Edipack (edible food packaging), the Eyepic Camera (a contact lens that takes photos), the Vendawave (vending machine for instant hot meals), and the I-Dream (record your dreams and watch them later!). The winners were Willink School with the Vendawave, and Park House won best presentation, and Theale Green were highly commended.
