In March 2025, Year 9 and 10 science students from LVS took part in the Begbroke Science Park Innovation Showcase, competing against other local schools in a test of creativity and problem-solving.
The Challenge:
- Students were randomly assigned a topic—LVS students received: “New wood nanofiber biomaterial steals strength record from spider silk.”
- Their task was to transform this cutting-edge scientific concept into a viable business or commercial product.
- With just 45 minutes and no access to phones or laptops, they had to rely entirely on creativity and teamwork.
The Competition:
- Teams pitched their ideas to an audience and a panel of judges, followed by a Q&A session.
- They also explored the Engineering and Applied Science research laboratories, gaining further insight into real-world innovation.
The Winning Idea:
LVS students conceptualized an advanced armour made from the groundbreaking material and named it “INVINCEABLE.” Their ingenuity, teamwork, and presentation skills impressed the judges—securing first place!
The Outcome:
🏆 LVS students were crowned winners!
📜 Each participant received a certificate.
🏆 The team proudly brought home an impressive trophy.
🍕 To celebrate their success, the winners enjoyed pizza and pop when they returned to school!
A huge well done to all involved—your hard work and creativity truly shone! 🎉
Year 9: Evan Davis and Raymond Gregory
Year 10: Jocelyn Goffey, Jake Payne, Serene Touma, Jasmin Shah, Seb Wehbe, Harry Wigginton
Not forgetting their science teacher Gladies Jayaraman Nair!
