Winning students confirmed for Birmingham Big Bang

A team of Digital Technology students from Gower College Swansea has been selected to represent Wales in the final of the Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Competition.

This follows their exceptional performance at the Engineering Education Scheme Wales (EESW) finals, where they took the top prize in the 'Best College in Wales' category.

Cody Wilks, Sara Vonk, David Osbourne and Kaleb Thomas have worked closely with Tongfang Global (THTF) over several months to design and develop a prototype for ‘smart TVs’.

They will now get the chance to show off their work at the Big Bang Fair at Birmingham’s NEC in March 2017.

"These students are really going from strength to strength," says Curriculum Leader Steve Williams. "They have worked extremely hard on their prototype and thoroughly deserve to be one of just 15 Welsh finalists to go through to the UK national competition, following on from their success at EESW.”
