Throughout this term groups of our students have been having a go at Epro 8.

Epro 8 involves a variety of activities based around engineering, problem solving and innovation.  Nicola has been working with different groups that have built structures such as vehicles and bridges where the students aim to understand the relationship between the materials used and their performance properties in technological products.

Some problem solving questions have been...

“How do we make it super sturdy?” - Team Cheeseballs- Isla, Elsie, Annabel, Joss.

“Wait, why is it not working?” - Team Donks- Ted, Xavi, Dexter, Oli.

“Is 400mm 40cm?” - Team Slimy Gherkin- Boston, Noah, Olive, Lilly, Dexter, Oli.
