Yearly Life at Somerhill

IET Faraday Challenge On Monday 25th November, Somerhill hosted the IET Faraday Challenge. Pupils from local schools joined us in the Bickmore Hall for this annual event to solve a design challenge, build a prototype and present it, all while keeping to the budget of 120 faradays. Well done to our Somerhill team as winners of this year's event and thank you to everyone who took part to make it such a fantastic day!
