In the lead up to the exciting GRAND FINAL, let’s look back on our semi-final.
As well as the Olympics, early August held another spectacular competition.
Let’s Torque had the chance to meet our talented semi-finalists and listen to their stunning presentations.
Topics ranged from the recycling of cells from umbilical cords for medical application to the novel use of nanoparticles to fight against bacterial infection!
Although our fierce competitors were behind monitors, their charisma and passion were received loud and clear.
The snappy 4-minute time-limit definitely proved to be a challenge. However, our semi-finalists successfully assured us of a fascinating future for STEM ahead.
A warm congratulations to our semi-finalists, we’re incredibly proud of you all!
Get into the spirit of Science Week and join us this Saturday (20 August) for our GRAND FINAL from the comfort of your own home.
