BSB Students Question selected by MIT Professor Dr Gehring

Exciting news once again from the MIT Challenge! Two of our Year 7 students Yiguo (Derek) Wang and Ethan Zhang asked MIT Professor of Biology Dr. Gehring a question; and their question was chosen to be answered. Please see below the background for their question to MIT.

In this year's MIT Challenge 1: Build Better Plants, students across all Nord Anglia schools were given the opportunity to ask questions relating to plants to MIT Professor Dr. Gehring.

We are pleased to announce that Derek and Ethan’s interesting question “Why do vegetables have different tastes” was chosen to be answered by Dr. Gehring and they have each earned themselves a gold badge for "Curiosity”.

Well done to Yiguo and Ethan, we are so proud of you!
