Teams for the EPro8 Challenge.

The EPro8 Challenge is an inter-school science engineering problem solving competition. Every year over 10,000 students from 800 schools throughout New Zealand take part. Teams were set a challenge to undertake at school, using a set of equipment sent for the students to use. Two teams from the Senior Syndicate spent a week designing and creating a large-scale robotic animal which had to have one moving feature that captured the essence of their chosen creature.

The Year 7 team 'The No.1 Tech Crew' (Jack van Aardt, Max Haden, Lizzie Maskell-Cunningham and Ivy Pritchard) created a robotic kiwi with a moving head.

The Year 8 team 'The No.1 Tech Warriors' (Nate Wadsworth, Leighton Simmons, Adam Lawrence and Wilson Gee) created a giant turtle with moving limbs.

Once finished, each team had to upload a report, team photo and a 1 minute video showing their solution and how it worked to their team's online portal.

The competition results will be released on Monday 21st.

Good luck to our two tech teams.
