The Epro8 Challenge Regional Grand Final, the supreme level of this competition, was held at Monrad Intermediate on May 17th.
Caleb, Zac, Maddi and Riley demonstrated the qualities of a Whakarongo Kid to an extremely high level. Their greatest advantage was their teamwork and it paid off. For two and half hours they worked their way through a range of arcade game based challenges. They created a giant Space Invader, a life size Pac Man and a huge Tetrus game. They also choreographed a short "Dance Revolution" sequence for easy points!
Kelvin Thiele, the event creator and facilitator, honestly could not call who would win the competition with 5 minutes left on the clock. Our kids stayed calm under pressure, worked swiftly and managed to pull off the win with 90 seconds remaining! It was a great competition to watch and all the spectators were so proud of the team. Four years of hard work and experience came together to crown the Whakarongo Technological Turtles the 2019 Epro8 Challenge Manawatu/Wanganui Regional Champions!
