EPro8 Engineering Success

By Phillipa Dick | Posted: Thursday August 17, 2017

In an exciting final, Balmacewen Intermediate's Try-Bal Warriors became the Otago champions.

The EPro8 Challenge is an engineering and problem solving competition. Teams compete to solve practical problems using tools such as pulleys, motors, gears, wheels and axles and by constructing basic electronic circuits. It was the first time this event was run in the South Island. In a three hour event, the Try-Bal warriors competed against 11 other Year 7-8 schools from the Otago region to win.

Well done to Aaron, Taisei, Olivia and Bill for showing excellent teamwork skills and perseverance.
