Highfields Students Shine at Industrial Cadets Gold Award Showcase

On Thursday 27th June, Mr. Hallett proudly accompanied our EDT students to the University of Birmingham for their showcase as part of the prestigious Industrial Cadets Gold Award. This journey began in October, with students dedicating weekly sessions to collaborate with mentors from Mott MacDonald Bentley and Ansaldo Nuclear. The process also included an enriching overnight trip to De Montford University, where students constructed models to provide innovative solutions to their project brief.

Mr. Hallett guided two dedicated teams to the event, and we are thrilled to announce that one of our teams won the coveted teamwork award! Aoife and Anika, the remarkable duo, were recognised for their extraordinary effort in tackling their project as a team of two, while most teams comprised 4-7 members. The industry experts were particularly impressed by the high quality of their project and report, noting that their achievements would have been commendable for a team of six.

Both teams received glowing feedback, reflecting their hard work, skills, and dedication throughout the process. This showcase highlighted their impressive technical abilities, their resilience and collaborative spirit.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the students involved, especially Aoife and Anika, for their exceptional teamwork and perseverance.
