Spotlight! Queen’s Park High School
A big thank you to Queen’s Park High School for spotlighting two of our programmes in their latest magazine!
This fantastic double-page spread showcases two super-talented teams, one from Year 8 who participated in an IET Faraday® Challenge Day and one from Year 9, who entered the Unilever Bright Future Programme (Inspire).
During an IET Faraday® Challenge Day, students can become real-life engineers for a day when they research, design and build solutions to tough engineering problems.
“I really liked that there was a shop for us to use, because it meant that we had to be creative to design our prototype within a set budget.” – Year 8 Student
Congratulations to Team QPHS, who were awarded certificates of commendation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology for their interactive prototype. We can’t tell you more than that, the challenge is top secret!
Learners on the Unilever Bright Future Programme complete a day of activities with Unilever experts that introduce them to formulation, packaging, the environment and more. Following this, students can take up the challenge to design their own environmentally friendly/sustainable product over a three-month period and present their ideas to Unilever experts at our Awards and Celebration Day.
Year 9 designed a washing powder that works effectively at low temperatures, helping to save energy – Everclean. In recognition of their research, product design and presentation, each student received a CREST Discovery Award and a Certificate of Achievement from Unilever. Amazing work!
Keep your fingers crossed for our group of Y9 girls who are about to present their eco friendly washing powder to the judges for the @Unilever Bright Futures Programme.

“I loved presenting to the judges, it was daunting at first but exciting. Through this project, we have gained further understanding on how to help the planet and the importance of sustainable ingredients in the products we use. Overall, it was a very memorable experience.” – Year 9 Student
