Engineering

The year 8s have been working on a project as part of the 'Transpower Neighbourhood Engineer Awards.' It was started by the whole Kereru class earlier in the year before being handed over to our year 8s to complete. The brief written by the whole class was basically to design outdoor storage for our emergency equipment. Today they were visited by Catherine and Sara from Motovated design to have one last look at things before their work is sent away at the end of this week. Sara is the engineer who has been mentoring the group right through the process and her input has been invaluable. Today Sean and Luke brought along an example of the finished product, thanks to the work they have been putting in with their father Ricky, and a big thanks goes to him for his time and the materials. It's great to have photos of the finished product to send away as it adds another dimension to the planning and development. The students have learned so much through this authentic project and it will be good to get the judges feedback on their process and achievement.
