July 02, 2019/ Kate Burdett

Year 8/9 students participated in a 2 week intensive program where they explored problems under the topic ‘Race to the Moon’. In teams, students competed against each other under 4 categories: Manufacturing, Resources, Biology and Energy. Thursday afternoon saw the 39 teams set up a stall and pitch their product to teachers, students and community members. The winning teams (pictured) have won a full day excursion to Hamilton Secondary College Space School where they will participate in the Mission to Mars program and expand their STEM, communication and teamwork skills. Well done to all teams who participated.
