Poster Projects – Titles
Delegates were invited to bring posters showing some science research they had done. These were displayed in the Pupil Social Centre and were on view before the conference, during the tea break and after the final plenary session. Two prizes of £250 were awarded to the two best projects (generously donated by the Butrous Foundation): Pratap Singh (Perse School) and Sampath Sambavi (Annamalai University School, Chennai) and these winners presented their research at the end of the conference. All the presentations were filmed; see the videos here.
