The team tasked over the course of a challenging day to plan, design and construct a prototype that could be used to assist survivors during a natural disaster. Without much help from the teachers on the day, the pupils had to independently problem solve and manage their resources to come up with a solution. 

Julie Freak, Senior Boys science technician, applauded the pupils: “The team worked brilliantly and made excellent progress to construct a working attachment for a helicopter that could drop off aid packages and winch up survivors. The pupils confidently presented their ideas in a short presentation pitching the construction of the prototype. Despite their best efforts on the day the Claires Court team did not come away victorious, however, it was a very challenging and memorable day for all involved.”
