So the judging has finally arrived for the 1st class engineering project competition. The standard was extremely high and the judging took many hours as the judges just couldn't decide. They just wanted to give them all first prize for amazing effort, skill and engineering ability. So now to the result......
In third place came Charlie's terrific truss bridge made out of popsicle sticks and a lot of effort and planning. I'd happily drive over it with my car! A very sturdy bridge.
In joint third place came Seán and his brilliant bird house. He used every tool in the shed to plan, saw, drill, sand and spray paint his bird box. All the birds in Midleton will be flocking to your house, Seán!
In 2nd place came James' perfect paddle boat. It actually works and moves speedily through water. A marine engineer in the making. Fantastic.
And in 1st place...... Conor and his super-duper sweet dispensing machine. I love how he combined his passion for sweets and passion for engineering to make a marvelous machine. And what a tasty result.
Well done to all for making engineering week so successful.
