Year 8 Systems Technology

To finish the semester, Year 8 Systems Technology students are completing the “Catapult Challenge”. Students seek the best application of learned mechanical and structural engineering principles as they battle to be the best!

Year 11 Systems Engineering

To conclude Unit 1 Mechanics, the Systems Engineering classes have designed and produced prototype Mousetrap Racers. Students used a combination of hand tools and CAD production processes to develop and redesign their prototypes before “Race Day”. Ingenuity in design, while highly regarded in the criteria, often lead to disastrous outcomes! The simplest designs were best. Congratulations to the winning team of Tate, Hugo and Nicholas for their ultra-light weight design that travelled 31.2 metres – the length of the Br Adams gym!
