Scrapheap Challenge – Free event for Year 7 students
National Science and Engineering Week (15th -24th March 2013).
Winning Event
Last year our Scrapheap Challenge won the top prize of “Best Engineering Event“ throughout the whole of National Science and Engineering week! So thank you very much to all the schools who participated last year and helped make it such a success.
We challenge you to design and build a waterwheel out of everyday scrap materials provided by Geevor. Your water wheel must pull a cart the furthest distance in the fastest time.
Prizes
School prize
The winning school will receive £100 for your school science or technology club plus the Trophy for a year.
Team prize
The winning team (up to 5 students a team) – you will get free family entry to Geevor for a year.
Every participant
Every entry will receive a certificate showing the test results of their water wheel.
This year you can also use the event to complete a bronze CREST award.
