This afternoon 12 teams of P7 pupils came to the hall to take part in our STEM Challenge. Each team had to design and construct a slow marble run, in which a marble had to travel as slowly and for as long as possible. It then had to be deposited and then stay in a container at the end of the run. The teams were given points on their designs, including factors considered, design ideas and their drawings (both from the side and bird's eye views). They were also given points on the construction and appearance of their slow marble run, and more point on the marble run's performance when tested with a marble.

Mr Brown and Mr Gault tested each of the Slow Marble Runs and have analysed the design sheets with the top two scoring teams being selected to represent Waringstown Primary School at the Sentinus Primary Stem Challenge 2017 in a few weeks.
