Fourth Form take part in Dragon’s Den

Last week the pupils in the Fourth Form at Milton Abbey took part in an environmental twist on Dragon’s Den, a high impact event aimed at unlocking pupil’s entrepreneurial flair inspiring them to invent an environmentally-friendly product.

Led by Bournemouth based company, Bright Green Enterprise pupils worked in teams of eight to develop core missions, brainstorm and build prototypes from recycled materials whilst also creating an attention grabbing promotional campaign which was then presented to the entire year group. Photographs of the day can be found on the Milton Abbey Online Image Gallery (a link to which may be found on the school’s homepage).

The results from the day were as follows;

Overall Winner: Group 2 (Tom Everard, Hugh Daunt, Alex Grant, George Kelsey, James Morrison)

2nd Place: Group 8 (Will Young, Rory Thompson, Salomon Kurtser, Will Costello)

3rd Place: Group 5 (Milo Samengo Turner, Alexandro Sanchez-Carnerero Noves, Archie Leschallas, James Tower)

Best Presenter: Will Costello

The cash prize for the winning team has been retained and passed on to the Senior Master to be presented on Parents’ Day on Friday, 6th July.
