The inaugural Year 9/10 Pushcart Grand Prix was held on Wednesday to crowds of Year 7-10 spectators, who helped create a fantastic atmosphere for the 9/10 Design and Pushcart students to showcase their hard work over the past semester.

These young Technologists developed their race-carts throughout the two terms, beginning with investigations in design concepts, 3D CAD modeling and  prototyping in order to build their own unique designs. A fun afternoon was had by all watching the thrills and a fair few spills! The enthusiasm and commitment exhibited by each student was inspiring. A huge "well done" to the 9/10 Pushcart crew for putting on a great show and making their teacher so proud. Amazing Mahi! Ka pai!

A special mention goes to John Cookson from the Oxford Menzshed for lending his expertise and helping the students complete their carts. Thankyou John!

The carts will be on display next week at Rau Whetu, including images of the event itself.

Ngā mihi,

Mr Halliwell.
