Innovation Challenge

Pairs of MGC students were combined with other schools around Marlborough to compete in different challenges. There were 3 industry representatives including Autoline, Sanford Bioactive and Indevin, who proposed a problem that the groups needed to understand, come up with potential solutions and develop into a prototype. They then presented their ideas and prototype to the industry experts who awarded the top group with a gift card each.

Each winning group contained students from MGC! Ka pai te mahi!

• Zoe Baker and Amber Henry won the Sanford Bioactive Challenge
• Nicola Liu and Arlo (Aika) Mojzisek won the Indevin Challenge
• Shalia Narayan and Ella-Jane Partridge won the Autoline Challenge
