Stratford College is thrilled to have four projects invited to exhibit at the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition this month. This is a huge result for the school and comes after the best individual project last year was won by our former 6th Year student Ayush Tambde. There were over 2,000 entries with 550 projects selected for the final exhibition.
