Samuel Walton, 16, has been named the MirrorSphere Future Tech Star 2016 after impressing judges with his passion for technology.

The Wheatley Park School student is an Air Cadet who designed a system which allows cadets to work together using flight simulators.

Sam was chosen to be our MirrorSphere Future Tech Star for 2016 from hundreds of entrants who were eventually whittled down to five finalists before the winner was selected. Along with the prestige of being the MirrorSphere Future Tech Star, Sam also wins this bundle of prizes worth £1,500!

Sam’s passion for technology stood out, and the fact that he is using it for such a great cause made him shine. He truly deserved to win the title.
