Science Fair Success!

Well done to those students who committed and persevered to complete their investigations and who went on to represent the school at the local Otago Science Fair. 

The students met on a Friday morning with Ms Dixon and Amadeo to work on their projects. The standard was very high and many students ended up doing well and winning prizes in a number of areas.  Hopefully this has inspired them to continue to look for opportunities in science and technology to investigate, wonder, question and solve problems and take on the challenge again next year. 

A special congratulations to Leo who ended up taking out a Premier Prize for his project Seavolution.  Leo's project was part of his Term Two PBL project where he created and coded a game on scratch to play to learn the different levels of a marine food web. Check our his QR code above  to try his game - he has had well over 6000 plays to date!
