We also reached out to local businesses to find out how viable it would be to build our design ideas locally and distribute it locally, before deciding on our final design idea.

    Achieved 3 A-Levels: Mathematics, Physics, and Economics, with grades: B, B, D, and one AS level in Geography achieving a grade: B. During A-level mathematics, it was required to decipher data gathered from a repeated trail experiment using binomial distribution to find the most likely outcomes, developing analytical skills. During the course, real-world problems where presented, which required one to assess the situations and use the correct mathematical theories to solve said problems. Economics Required to understand social and economic trends, by studying markets, business and customer behaviors, through analyzing economics graphs and learning economic theories, and utilizing them in real-world scenarios. Tasked with writing a report, about how both businesses and consumers operate in different markets, including perfect competition, imperfect competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. Researched relevant information using relevant websites, journals, and gathering information from consumers. Physics During the physics A-Level course, students were required to complete a week-long program at imperial university, during the week student was tasked with building a vehicle that is run on sustainable fuel. To gather relevant information, students were required to use the university database to research scientific journals and appropriate textbooks, helping to develop information – acquisition skills. Computer-aided design software’s were used to help design the vehicles. Students were also graded on experimental work, applying scientific theories, to real-world scenarios. Innovative work was done in groups of approximately five, group members were required to communicate with each other, and supervisors regularly, to appoint positions to each member and discuss the best way to approach the experiment, improving members communication and interpersonal skills. Geography Tasked with researching causes and solutions to erosions to UK coastal region. Using the internet, to find relevant websites and online journals, to gather relevant information, which was used and referenced in course work. Research also included visiting areas where coastal erosion has occurred and talking with local coastal guards. To complete the geography As, a presentation explaining the causes of coastal erosion and possible solutions was required, which was created using Microsoft PowerPoint and adobe photoshop. The course work on the project was written and edited on Microsoft word, graphs, and charts used in the course work were created in Microsoft Excel, inputting relevant data to create relevant charts, and graphs.
