by Sophie Rishworth WHEN the big red button is pushed at each work station, music plays loudly and dancing is encouraged. This was just part of the fun atmosphere at the EPro8 Challenge at the Ilminster School hall this week. The two-day engineering competition for primary and intermediate students finished yesterday. On Thursday “secret” challenges were revealed to Gisborne students. One of these was to build a roller coaster — which looked a lot like a giant marble run. A total of 112 students took part, made up of 28 teams of four from nine schools around Gisborne. EPro8 Challenge event manager Steve Aiken said the students were not told what to do. They had to explore and discover how to achieve their end goal, use maths in context, and communicate with each other to build their projects. It was the “sweet spot” of learning, he said. EPro8 Challenge organiser Kelvin Thiele said this was the second year the engineering competition had been able to come to Gisborne, thanks to Eastland Group. “We wouldn’t be able to come to Gisborne if it wasn’t for the sponsorship of Eastland Group, and they are encouraging us to get more events and expand it in Gisborne. Which is great news as the more schools, and the more kids, the merrier.” After the secret challenges were revealed, the teams went into a two-and-a-half hour build phase. Other challenges included having to build a motorised supermarket trolley, inflating a giant balloon to represent the sun and Maui having to catch the sun. Plus a crazy birthday party contraption, which starts with pin the tail on the donkey, that turns a light on, which is a candle, which inflates a balloon, which drags a parcel along the ground, which then hits a piñata off the shelf that triggers a party popper. “The idea is to have a lot of fun,” said Mr Thiele. “Each stage of the challenge you have to build different parts that get progressively harder as the challenge goes through. There is learning behind each stage. “Visually, it also looks quite cool.” Parents are allowed to watch but not speak to the teams. The teams who won will go through to the finals next week. Students giving their brains a workout at the EPro8 Challenge at Ilminster Intermediate this week Mr Thiele said next year’s competition was already being included (top) Israel Black and Yannick Coombe, above left, Cass Ryan and Uzabella Rose, and planned, and he expected more students would take part in the above right, Lucas Thompson (left) Leo Stark and Elias Burgess. fun challenges that help students “think, learn and create”.
