BP Technology Challenge
On Friday of last week, 5 members of room 42 represented our house and school at the BP Technology Challenge. Myself, Milly, Britney, Matt S and Cole were the representatives of room 42. For the first challenge we had to make a structure that would hold a marble 5cm's of the ground, we had 5 minutes to read the instructions and 20 minutes to create the structure. We only had straws, 1 meter of cellotape, paper bag, string and scissors to create it. We did alright in the challenge as we beat Totara which we were pretty proud of. The next challenge was we had to create something to make sure we could drop and egg from a hight without it breaking. Our construction didn't work very well as Mr Marsh said to us that the egg has to be visible and cant be sitting in something but as everyone finished their structure we discovered everyone wrapped their eggs up nice and tight or put them in the plastic bag with cushioning around them, but after we discovered that we could wrap pur egg the time was up and we new our egg would break straight away. The third challenge was we had to make a brush to pull a hammer and chisel close to you so you can pick it up and bang it. We did terrible in that challenge our design was to weak and we didn't pick the best person to try pull the hammer and chisel. We took 4 minutes and the fastest time was 24 secs.
