DYSON Perrins pupil Tom Saville is one of the first students in the country to have his work published on a prestigious educational website.
Tom is one of ten Year 11 to 13 pupils from across Worcestershire who worked to create two websites about cloning and nanotechnology for this year's ThinkQuest competition, sponsored by Oracle Education Foundation.
The sites were created in Virtual Workspace, an online learning environment for 14 to 19 year olds, and the group did not meet each other until they were invited to present their work at Oracle's London offices.
In the capital, they were treated to an overnight stay in a five star hotel and a trip on the London Eye.
Leading developers such as Prof William Ritchie, the research scientist responsible for Dolly the Sheep, were contacted for the cloning website, while the nanotechnology team consulted NASA.
The ThinkQuest competition aims to inspire students to think, connect, create and share information. Everybody who enters has their completed website published in the ThinkQuest library at www.thinkquest.org.
