Recognizing that we live in a northern climate, it was time to have some fun and apply our technical skills! Four of our grade 7 and 8 students headed into Winnipeg on Wednesday with Ms. MacPherson to put their skills to the test.Energized by a 4 person team, our students constructed a human drawn sled, consisting of cardboard, 2- 2×4’s, and a pull rope. Racing through a moto-cross style course, the competition consisted of two trips around the course alternating riders with the pulling team.
This experience will help with the development of new skills, including: leadership, teamwork, problem solving and design. Our students, who were up to this challenge, had a fun filled day and captured top honours for their design. Congratulations to Ben P, Caddy R, Mychaela R, and Stefan G for their hard work and excellent design.
