Following Elisabeth’s success in the HMSG STEM Challenge 2015, sponsored by Renishaw plc, she entered the National Science and Engineering competition and took part yesterday at the Ricoh Arena (the home of Wasps Rugby Club) in Coventry.  She presented ‘Zorbit’ confidently, her car dehumidifier and air freshener, to several teams of judges and numerous members of the public, including many school children.  She was delighted to be presented with the British Science Association CREST prize for Innovation, and to be nominated to go forward to the national finals at the NEC next March, by Sarah Weldon the inspirational sportswoman, who is planning to row solo around the coast of Great Britain in summer 2016.
