As reported by The Bucks Herald, young innovators from schools and colleges in Aylesbury impressed judges with sustainable ideas, including a waste-to-resource woodchipper project
Students from schools and colleges in Aylesbury excelled in a Dragons Den-style competition with an emphasis on green technology.
For the third year running, students from five secondary schools and the Buckinghamshire College Group competed in the contest that also acts as an opportunity for youngsters to learn about green energy sources.
Bucks Council has revealed that students from Buckinghamshire College Group won over the panel of judges, who were impressed by the carpentry and joinery students’ idea of buying a woodchipper to turn timber waste into wood shavings and wood chippings to be donated to local residents, farms, stables, landowners and animal charities to be used for things like household pets and agricultural animal bedding, mulch for soil conditioning, garden and landscaping projects.
Each school was paired up with a supporting business to mentor and help the students understand the challenge throughout the competition.
