Waikato Science Fair
Huge congratulations to Ryan, Alasdaire and Corbin who were all awarded places in the Waikato Science Fair. Ryan and Alasdaire won 1st place in Exhibit Class:3 Year 7-8 Physical World for their Speedy Shapes exhibit which tested the aerodynamics of various profiles for truck cabs.
Corbin won 3rd place in Exhibit Class:15 Inventions and Technical Innovations (Open age group) for his Doggone Fast quick release dog lead. This innovation on a conventional lead enabled a dog to be released much more quickly by avoiding the need to bend down and undo the lead from the collar around the dog's neck.
What a fantastic effort boys. It is exciting to think we have budding scientists and inventors in our midst.

I really liked both these science fair projects and Ryan and Alistair did really well.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Corbins project, he did really well creating a dog lead that is easy and fast and I think this would be really easy for the police or drug dogs to use. I tried it myself and I was really easy and effective.
