We have been very fortunate this week to host the Year 7/8 and Year 5/6 EPro8 competitions. All of our teams worked hard to complete the set challenges and a special congratulations to the Clearview Citizens who came 1st in Year 5/6 event!

The EPro8 Challenge is a competition, an engineering and problem-solving race. Teams compete to:

• build large-sized structures
• solve practical problems
• engineer using pulleys, motors, gears, wheels and axles
• invent machines that can complete simple tasks
• undertake unusual and fun experiments.
• construct basic electronic circuits.
• solve interesting problems using practical maths

Each team of four is based at a workstation containing an impressive assortment of easy to use parts and equipment. The 3-hour event begins with a tutorial on the equipment teams will be using.

Teams are then given a booklet containing a number of challenges. All the challenges are of an entertaining physical nature.
