Emily Cummins - Engineering and Inventions
Emily Cummins came to give the Sixth Form an insight in to engineering and inventions last night. She is a 22 year old ethical inventor and entrepreneur who is studying Management and Sustainability at Leeds University. Her latest invention is an environmentally friendly fridge, which runs without using electricity. She developed the fridge during her self-funded gap year in Africa.
Emily enthused the pupils with her energy, commitment and her futuristic stance on what is a very topical and real problem that the world and future generations face. The students could see that in a relatively short space of time, Emily has made a significant difference and will continue to do so, improving the quality of people's lives in some of the poorest regions of the world.
