Playground

Henri van Zyl an engineer based in Whangarei came in to school to day to talk to the Playground group. It was a chance for the students to have professional input to their work and has given us valuable feedback. We are now going to organise a weekend workshop to develop the ideas, build a model and get the project moving along.

Once this has been done we can then get costings sorted out and visit the Council to present the ideas, get feedback and fine tune the designs. Then it will be a simple case of getting loads of money to build it!

We will stay in contact with Henri, so he can continue to give advice on the students progress.

This work will be also form part of the students application to the Neighbourhood Engineers Awards.
