Earlier this year a few of my friends and I made it into the Epro8 team for our school. EPro8 is an engineering competition. Here is a piece of writing about this competition,
A few weeks ago I went to the Epro8 heats. The rest of my team was Sienna, Petra and Neila. We were really nervous and really excited. The challenges were hard. My favourite was the dog box. We had to build a structure above the ground. The judge said that they were going to give out points for tidy areas. Our area wasn’t that tidy. We had to clean up really fast! At the end of the heats we had to get into the top 4 to get to the semi finals. We came third. We all got cool certificates. Next up was the semi- finals. We were quite scared about that. We got to the competition and were really excited. The theme was rock band. My favourite challenge was to make a stage. There was a light mounted on either end and they had to flash like a disco! We had to get into the top three this time. We got third again. That meant that we were off to the finals! We were all super nervous! The theme for this challenge was sports. Some of the challenges was to make a rowing machine and a limbo bar! We had to think really hard about making the limbo bar buzz! In the end we came eighth! We were all really proud of our efforts and had lots of fun.
