My Projects

Celeritas Racing - Team Principal

After over a hundred hours of work in the build up to the National Final, the minibus (image 7) containing the pit display, portfolios, display cars and much more was stolen from the hotel car park on the morning of the first day of the competition. This left us with only one box of team kit, regional's awards and the personal items (laptops etc.) which were taken off the bus. Pictured is the pit display on the first day (slide 2) and a makeshift pit display (slide 3) which was made overnight and driven three hours to the Magna Science Centre by one of our sponsors for the final day of the competition.

Above is a portfolio of work that I solely produced after the F1 in Schools National Final, documenting my research, practical work and involvement in the project in a greater depth than the specification allowed.

What engineering lessons and principles I learned from working on this project:

I learned some fundamentals of engineering such as CAD design and CFD. This project tested my analytical thinking (e.g making airflow decisions) and developed my researching skills (allowing me to understand how to gather relevant information). During the course of the competition, I learned about the importance of perseverance, quick thinking and problem solving in the face of adversity- overall strengthening my enthusiasm for engineering.

Engineering GCSE NEA - Filtering Polymers

To the left is a sample of my engineering project which aimed to satisfy the brief: 'Engineer a prototype solution that would help filter polymers from the ocean.' My complete project is forty slides long. Below is images of my final electrical and mechanical solution to reduce polymer pollution in the ocean.
