37 students from a number of Year 8 classes attended the Great Hall at the University of Newcastle for a Build ME a future Day on Wednesday 26th October.  The day was run by the Engineering faculty and was designed to stimulate interest in engineering studies.

The first half of the day revolved around hands on activities designed to bring out creative skills and build skills in teamwork. The activities were quite competitive, between the schools attending, as well as between individual teams of girls and boys. The activities included designing and testing propellers, planes, catapults and buggies and a simulated electricity distribution system. After lunch there was a demonstration by the Engineering faculty robotics team and a laser light show.

The grand finale consisted of a catapult shoot off, where our boys team was just edged into second place (although our video evidence begged to differ!!)

A great day was had by all that attended.
