This week our 1st year students are taking part in a Institute of Civil Engineering project called Rapid Response. Students were given a Motivation Talk on Friday of last week, which got students thinking about the effect of a hurricane in Honduras.
S1 classes this week are all based around the aftermath of a hurricane. Students are taught about the difficulties people face after a hurricane and how engineers can help with fixing roads, water supplies and communications.
On Thursday, 30th May students will complete the Rapid Response project with a Challenge Day. Students will compete in teams building temporary shelters, purifying water and cycling.
We hope S1 enjoy the Rapid Response Project.
