This week 22 pupils from our feeder primary schools visited the Williamwood Science Department to compete in the cluster final of the K’Nex challenge; an event organised by Glasgow University’s Science Connects department. All P6 pupils take part in the challenge within their own school and the fortunate pupils chosen to take part in the final were given the daunting challenge of designing a crane.

Congratulations to Jennifer and Erin from Busby Primary School for their superb winning entry. Shown below, it was designed to have multiple ways of lifting objects, as well as an innovative “lock” in order to secure them if required.

All of the participants were a huge credit to themselves and their schools and the competition was exceptionally hard to judge! Images of the other cranes can be found HERE.

We now look forward to hearing how the girls got on in the wider area final! Good luck!
