Monday 9th November, saw 57 pupils from the 5th and Sixth Forms taking part in the annual Engineering Challenge Day at King's Bruton.
Despite the necessity of running the day in two separate bubbles as a result of Covid-19, pupils tackled the challenges with considerable enthusiasm and great humour.
Teams were tasked with carrying out research, calculations and preliminary tests to produce rockets that were fired by a build-up of air pressure. Rockets needed to meet 3 challenges:
Designs were incredibly varied and very successful. Indeed, during testing, I believe some rockets reached at least 100m high! All pupils should be congratulated for excellent team work.
Well done to all involved, especially the two winning teams:
Sixth Form: Hannah, Will, Ben & Rory
5th Form: Oscar, Amelia, George, Ben & Harvey
Angela Ashworth - Head of Physics
