Technology Rocket Challenge Results

During the final days of the old school, students in year 7 engaged in a design and make collaborative event aimed at putting the fun back into the classroom. Students observed sample rocket launches and then put their team skills into action to come up with the best designs for an extended rocket flight. Dozens of rockets were tested amidst much excitement. The eventual winners of the events are listed below.
