Chinese New Year
Cardboard Boat Challenge/Robotics
BHES participated in two separate skills challenge events in the last couple of weeks. The Cardboard Boat event saw students designing, creating and racing a cardboard boat in a 25m swimming pool while a separate BHES video team captured the process and created a video. The Robotics event used our Lego EV-3 units (purchased by School Council) to complete challenges against other teams.
