Science and Engineering challenge

Term 3 has been incredibly busy for our students with two big events they have been training for since the beginning of Term 2 coming to fruition.

Thursday 20 July saw over 30 students from Years 9 and 10 heading to the University of Western Sydney to compete against eight other schools in the Science and Engineering Challenge. Students had the opportunity to work amongst university students and lecturers on eight different challenges that involved building mars rovers and engineering bridges, gliders and solving electrical puzzles.

The girls had a brilliant time, making connections with age peers from different schools and building problem solving skills in a fun and competitive environment. The Science and Engineering challenge is open to all interested and dedicated students in Years 9 and 10.
