St. Olave's wins the Imperial Science in Medicine Schools Team Prize

We are delighted to announce that the St. Olave’s team of Pelumi, Maheer, Frank, Zaheer, Ally and leader Haris, who took part in the Lung Category of the Imperial Science in Medicine Schools Team Prize was placed in 1st place winning the School £3000 to spend on science related activities.

This is an enormous and very well-deserved achievement. They designed a product called ‘AirAware’ to help in the early detection of Lung Cancer. They worked as a team to produce a e-poster (that can be seen below) which was submitted to Imperial College. 

Congratulations must however go to both Year 13 teams Lung and Cardiovascular (Athyth, Joannah, Kanishq, Naman and led by Ayman and Sean) who were shortlisted for the finals. Both teams gave impressive presentations in their respective final which were heard by a large panel of academic and lay judges.

Each team presented for 7 minutes and then answered challenging questions about their product.

Over 50 schools entered each category of the competition and 10 schools were shortlisted for each category final.

Well done to all our students who participated in this exciting, multidisciplinary competition and thank you to Imperial College for organising the event.
