Participants practice and extend their STEM skills in an engaging competition against other schools to engineer solutions to challenges, using giant meccano-style equipment. This year's challenges included building a body-mounted laser gun device to shoot a mobile target, making a remote-controlled shopping cart, or creating an autonomous barrier arm. GBHS's Junior teams had an intense few hours in a very close competition. One of the teams was rewarded with a spot in the semifinals. Senior teams finished strongly, unfortunately missing out on qualifying for the semi-final round. This was a fantastic event and everyone is keen to come back next year.
