Yesterday, The council hosted their 1st ever Dragons Den-style Green Schools event in partnership with Buckinghamshire Skills Hub and local green technologies companies Lunaz & DMC.
Teams of Year 12 pupils from The Buckingham School, The Grange, John Colet School & Waddesdon School pitched innovative & creative green technology ideas to a fierce panel of judges!
The pupils all wowed the Dragons, who fired tough questions to help test & develop their green, technical, business and creative skills.
On the panel were Cllr Anita Cranmer, Sarah Murphy-Brookman, John Macilwraith, Ruth Farwell from Buckinghamshire Lieutenancy, Buckinghamshire Business First Head of Skills & Business Support Heather Dean & U19 Skills Manager Marina Jackson, Kieron Salter from Digital Manufacturing Centre Chief Executive Office and Lunaz Process Controller Jack Levy.
