The EPro8 team

Te Waka entered two teams in the Epro8 challenge at Christchurch South Intermediate.  This challenge involved creating structures and solving problems using a variety of equipment.  This was a great experience for us and we are well keen to do it again next year - we learnt a lot about ourselves, working with a team, sharing ideas to create a common product and experimenting with different equipment to see what it does.

Here are some of our models of the brain.  See if you can tell which parts are the brain stem, the cerebrum, the cerebellum or the two hemispheres.
