Saturday 18th October - Day 2


After arriving at La Trobe University we met with the other teams completing the Applied technology challenge in a lecture theatre. We soon noticed that we had to compete against teams that were up to Year 8 when we arrived!!!!
After being given our instructions we moved off to our designated room with our supervisor.
We then had three hours to work on our challenge. During this time we had morning tea and also had to complete our Spontaneous challenge.


After 3 hours was up we then packed away all our props and materials and returned to the lecture theatre.
During lunch out on the Simpson lawn we were not able to talk about our challenge.
After lunch we moved back into the theatre and presented our 10 min presentation to the other schools and parents.

                                                     Here we are setting up for our presentation

                                                 Receiving our participation awards


After the presentations we went back to the Simpson lawn for a drumming session with a group of drummers.

At 5.45pm we then moved to the Eagle restaurant in Campus for a yummy buffet dinner.
This included a BBQ, Chinese, Indian food and Pasta.

At 7pm we then moved to the Union hall for the Prize giving

Applied Technology was the first section to be presented.
We are very proud of the team as we received Honors - which meant that we were the runners up in our section.

Here we are with our medals at Prize giving. We were also excited as we were the only NZ team gain a prize!
