Children from Avanti Fields Secondary School got busy creating posters that showed their ideas of how to make the environment healthier and more sustainable. The posters were displayed at the International SEEDS conference (Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society), where researchers from across the world were able to view them./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10081/n

In June 2024, the RISE judging panel, which is made up of professors, officers and colleagues across the SEEDS committee institutions (Leeds Beckett University, Loughborough University, University of Suffolk, University of the West of England, Bristol) and construction engineering specialist, Keltbray, came together to judge the entries and were extremely impressed with the pupils/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10081/u2019 hard work and ideas./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10081/n
