Several schools attempted to field teams for the STEM Challenge. Unfortunately, only one team managed to complete their project and submit a final report for review.<\/p>\n<p>The Challenge was to research a simple, sustainable innovation that could make life better for people living in poverty in the developing world.<\/p>\n<h3>The winning project<\/h3>\n<p>The team from Godolphin School decided to investigate sustainable ways to make drinking water safe. They tested a variety of natural products which could kill common water-bourn bacteria.\u00a0 The judges were very impressed with the level of scientific investigation that the girls showed in proposing and testing hypotheses. The team not only thought about the product content, but also designed an impressive package that could be a practical dispersal vessel. \u00a0The judges commented on their &#8220;impressive design technique on 3D CAD&#8221; and &#8220;good critique for design improvements&#8221;.\u00a0 The ultimate conclusion was the garlic was an effective anti-bacterial but that it left the water tasting unpleasant.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5857 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sigbi.org\/salisbury\/2022\/06\/24\/stem-challenge-2022\/project-board\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 150 150&#039;%2F&gt;\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5862\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/salisbury\/files\/2022\/06\/project-board-150x150.jpg\" data-aspect=\"1\" srcset=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5862'>\n\t\t\t\tproject board\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sigbi.org\/salisbury\/2022\/06\/24\/stem-challenge-2022\/project-board1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 150 150&#039;%2F&gt;\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5863\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/salisbury\/files\/2022\/06\/project-board1-150x150.jpg\" data-aspect=\"1\" srcset=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5863'>\n\t\t\t\ttesting\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3>Sponsorship<\/h3>\n<p>The Challenge was sponsored by Wessex Archaeology and Claire Mellett spoke about her work as a geoarchaeologist with the company.
