The students of 6.3 science class at AISB had a challenge: with one hour until Europe's last solar eclipse of this scale for nearly 15 years, they needed to design a device that would allow them to help people view the eclipse without looking directly at the sun.
When the eclipse started many people were able to benefit from the work of these students.
You can see their designs below:
