Educational Opportunities EPro8 Canterbury Grand Final! EPro8 is a competition that requires participants to engineer structures and make them move using wires, gears and electronics. This year, Medbury entered two senior teams into the Years 7 and 8 competition on 27 July. One team consisted of Noah Madgwick, Charlie de Costobadie, Cohnor Walsh and Harrison Johnstone. The other team consisted of Josh Manenge, Ben Gorman, Ericsson Ye and Ryan Zhang. To start the competition, there was an online first round where the teams were able to use our two EPro8 kits,

provided by the Medbury Parents’ Association, to recreate famous structures from around the world. The teams made Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower allowed the Medbury team called The Brainy Bunch - Josh Manenge, Ben Gorman, Ericsson Ye and Ryan Zhang - to get through to the next round of challenges, the semi finals on 11 August. At the semi finals, the Brainy Bunch was able to successfully get through two further rounds, placing fourth, and qualifying for the Grand Final. The Grand Final took place on Monday 20 September

in the evening. The Brainy Bunch struggled on the night to produce solutions to the problems quickly, and as a result managed a placing of seventh out of the twelve teams that competed. We would like to thank Mr Collins and Mr Grieve for their help and guidance before and during the events. EPro8 is an activity that if you get the chance, you should give it a go.
