Professor Brian Cox inspires the next generation at North Star Science School 2024

Chesterfield-based CBE+, a UK leader in Electroless Nickel Plating, and a key sponsor of the event, engaged students with its hands-on ‘Crazy Planes!’ challenge. Students were tasked with making various designs of paper aeroplanes and using both kinetic and mortised launchers to fly the planes at superhero themed targets. The aim was to work out the best combination and in turn, score the most points.
