On Wednesday I volunteered at the Science and Engineering Challenge State Finals. I was supervising the "who gets the water?" challenge where the task was to design a system to pipe water around Australia.
This involved student teams setting up various paths of calibrated containers, hoses, valves and T joiners to transfer water from upper reservoirs to the lower target containers in as little time as possible. I volunteered for the initial rounds of competition earlier in the year so it was great to see some of the schools back for the finals. The grand final is being held in Bendigo in October - good luck to all the teams involved!
