BP Technology Challenge
On Friday five people from room 42 went to the hall to compete with other schools in a technology challenge. Our group was Jessica C, Britney, Matt S, Cole and I. Our first activity was we had to build a structure to keep a marble 5cm from the ground. We were able to use string, straws, cello tape and a paper bag. We got 20 minutes to build this structure and we didn't quite get it done, so we sneakily kept working. When Mr Marsh came to ours we told him that we went a little over the time to finish luckily he kept our points because we were honest.
Our second activity was we had to drop a egg on to the concret and make sure it didn't crack. With ours we missed heard Mr March and thought that we weren't aloud anything under the egg when we dropped it but unfortunately that was wrong and all the other teams had soft landing for there egg but not use. We got up to 10 cm and it cracked on our first go. The highest was dropped from 3 meters. The materials that we had to use were string, a paper bag, three sheets of paper, cello-tape, scissors and a piece of card.
