Rotary Club Technology Tournament 

On Tuesday 3rd March, 16 intrepid designers/engineers from Cundall Manor attended the annual Rotary Club Technology Tournament at Catterick Leisure Centre to compete against eight other schools from North Yorkshire. The students were split into four teams and each was given their task – to design and make a bridge which would open to allow vessels to pass. After a great deal of discussion the students got down to designing, testing and manufacturing their models, each with differing levels of success and cooperation. Fully refreshed after a hearty packed lunch, the teams completed their models and awaited testing and the final judgement. Each group was successful with their final outcomes and it all came down to the judges’ decision. In the Foundation competition Cundall Manor (Fraser McPhearson, Max England, Luke Mountford and Callum Throup) came a creditable 3rd as did the Intermediate team of Elliot Hughes, Guy Atkinson, Lucy Wang and Iranzu Ros-Ramirez.  Well done to all of our students who took part and had a great day.
