EPro8 Interschool Challenge
St Heliers School hosted both the Year 7 and 8 competition on Wednesday night for the Year 7 and 8 students and during the day on Thursday for the Year 5 and 6 students.
The EPro8 Challenge is the inter-school science and engineering competition. Every year over 35,000 students from throughout New Zealand take part.
Students participate in a series of events: firstly within their school and then inter-school.
These events are designed to promote science, engineering and problem solving.
For the Year 7 and 8 students: 'We never screw up' came in 4th place (just pipped for 3rd by 10 points), and 'Mechanical McNuggets' got 6th. You'll see their team names on the board behind their bodies in the photos.
