Thomas Bennett Community College students compete in engineering challenge
On February 8, students from Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 competed in a fun, in-house engineering challenge. Using teamwork as well as wit, the student teams tried to surpass others in the race to build super structures that would withstand the forces of nature.
A simulation of natural forces put to a test several structures that were built using wood, paper, cotton wool and plastic cups. The students showed resilience, independence, pride and aspiration during the process of building their constructions and above all, they had a lot of fun working together!
