BP Technology Challenge

On Friday morning, me, Jessica, Milly, Cole and Matt went to participate in the BP Technology challenge. Mr Marsh out science teacher was running the challenge. Different schools around Tauranga came to Tauranga Intermediate to go up against us. Our first instructions was to read the instructions in 5 minutes, Then 5 minutes later we had to start to build our construction. The object we had to build was a construction that can hold a marble ball, and it has to be 5 cm off the ground, we only got given straws, scissors, bag, cellotape, marble, and more objects , our construction had to be finished in 20 minutes. Mr Marsh suddenly stopped the time, the construction was a success but unfortunately we accidentally went over the time, we were very honest and told Mr Marsh we went over the time. Task 3 was to build a construction that could keep a egg safe and not crack, we had to drop the construction with a egg in it and you have to try not break the egg. Once you drop your egg and if it doesn't break you can go higher.
