Success at EPro8 Interschool Competition!
On Monday evening, 29th June, Mount Hutt College proudly entered two teams into the Year 7 & 8 EPro8 Interschool Event held at Ashburton Intermediate. Having topped our internal school competition, these bright young innovators earned the opportunity to test their engineering and problem-solving skills against the region's best.
Our Year 7 team - comprised of Henry, Luca, Will, and Rorie - placed a highly respectable 6th. The group demonstrated fantastic teamwork and technical skill, successfully engineering a fully working, automatic scissor lift.
Our Year 8 team - Archie, Richie, Ted, and Olly - secured a brilliant 3rd-place podium finish. Their complex balloon obstacle course challenge impressed the judge and earned them enough points to qualify for the regional Semi-Finals!
It is a remarkably quick turnaround for the Year 8 group, who will be competing in the semi-finals tomorrow, Wednesday 1st July.
Congratulations to both teams for representing Mount Hutt College with such creativity and determination, and we wish the Year 8 team the absolute best of luck for tomorrow's competition!
