Two Chantry Year 8 students, Mathew Eltringham-Davison and Callum Woodcock, recently attended the prestigious Big Bang @ Parliament Science showcase event at the Palace of Westminster.
Only nine projects from the whole of the UK were selected to attend the event, which was hosted by the Chairman of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, Stephen Metcalfe MP.
The boys’ work, which had previously featured at the regional Big Bang North East Science Fair, was an investigation into the best ingredients for making colourful fireworks. The Schools Minister, Nick Gibb MP, made a special mention of the project during his speech at the event.
After the event Mathew, Callum and Dr Jackson went for a quick tour of the capital’s key tourist attractions, including The Tower of London, The Shard, St Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace.
Very well done to Mathew and Callum for being such good ambassadors for Chantry on the national stage.
