Epro8

Emily Cooper —

Epro8 is an engineering and technology competition for year 5-8 students. It involves teamwork, technical skills and problem-solving.

You can compete against other teams in the year 5-6 and 7-8 category. We solve challenges using things like bolts, pulleys, ropes and cogs, poles and connectors. When your team has finished a stage you can push the big red button, then the judge comes round and gives you the next task.

This year, due to COVID-19 the Epro8 competition couldn't be held in person, so they created an Epro8 Kit which has a number of different things including the bolts, pulleys, ropes and cogs, poles and connectors. We are lucky to have 2 kits our teams are practising with.
