Epro8 Challenge Heats - Year 7/8

What a fun night!  It was a real privilege to join with parents and whanau to watch our terrific Year 7 and 8 teams work their magic at the Epro8 Challenge Regional Heats.

The Whakarongo Brainboxes (Axis Simon, Emma Mildenhall, Johanna Halcox and Noah McCallum) showed resilience and super problem solving as they worked to create a solar alarm clock, a fire engine with a ladder and a hurricane-proof dog kennel.  They were supportive of each other, and of their fellow teammates and they were more than deserving of their 2nd place finish.

The WhakarongoTechnological Turtles (Caleb 'Cable' Woisin, Zac Doyle, Maddi Brown and Riley Best) were the first team of the night to get points on the board.  They were swift and decisive as they worked through their challenges.  They exhibited seamless collaboration which made the audience extremely proud.  They ended the night in 3rd place - securing their spot in the Regional Semi-Finals.

Here are a range of pictures from the evening:
