On Wednesday 19 October I was given the opportunity to join students from other schools at a “Developing Engineers” workshop.  There were about 30 students from schools across the North Shore, from Years 1, 2 and 3.  There were boys and girls from Abbotsleigh, Pymble Ladies College, Roseville College, Masada College, Hills Grammar and Knox Grammar. 

It was an awesome day, where we investigated many engineering principles.  We had a theme for the day focused around the book character, Geronimo Stilton, and had to design ways to help him navigate and get to his destination.  We made our own model boat using the engineering principles we had learned, as well as using computers for coding to program Geronimo across the water.  My friend from Newington, Alex Hurl from Year 1 also attended, and we both had a great time learning about design and engineering.  We also made new friends from other schools.  I am very grateful to be chosen to attend.
