Primary Engineer

Date: 21st Jun 2022 @ 9:19pm

During our half term holidays 3 children went along to Preston College to take part in the Primary Engineer Celebration event for our area. 

We took along some of the moving vehicles we had made. During the day we had to explain how we made them, the materials we used, the research we had done and our design ideas to a panel of engineers from Baxi. 

We had to put our vehicle through a series of tests, moving backwards and forwards in a straight line over 3metres and it had to go up a ramp - every time we managed it, the ramp got steeper and we had to try again.

There were several schools there and our vehicles were judged on a number of criteria. 

Did we win?  YES. Our vehicle came first in the Engineer level 1 competition and a member of our team also won best communicator out of everyone at the event.

The Elephant engineers were truly amazing and shone brightly.
