Middle Syndicate Technology Challenge

On Friday of Week 3 the middle syndicate had a technology challenge. We were put into teams of three and we had 40 minutes to design and build a stretcher strong enough to carry 3kgs of potatoes. 

The materials we had were :

24 large sheets of newspaper

4 metres of string

1 small roll of cellotape

It was a great exercise in learning to work as a team and in developing our communication skills. We learnt a lot about how strong we needed to make the stretcher and what the weaknesses were.  

As a class we concluded that Henry, Anna and Levi's was the most successful with Yievy, Allan and Parmida's coming a close second.
