THE CHALLENGE

To mark Harrow School's 450th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of the AISL education group, the Harrow Family of Schools wanted to give every student, from Pre-Prep to Sixth Form, the chance to work on real sustainability problems.

WHAT WE DID

We created Sustainability450, inviting students across all Harrow-branded schools to come up with 450 unique ideas. Working individually or in groups, students chose from five challenges set with Imperial College London, the University of Southampton, the University of Bath, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and the Asian Institute of Technology, and presented their solutions through drawings, experiments, designs, programming or robotics. A hybrid finals day was held at Harrow School in the UK, with international schools joining virtually.
