Today, we had the challenge of trying to make a hand water pump.  We had the following materials:

• water bottle
• sellotape
• coins (1p, 2p, 20p)

Using our hand-made pump, we had to transfer water from one cup to another.

“It was really fun and challenging.  I hope to do more engineering like this.” Rayyan

“It was challenging because sometimes it didn’t work but we tried different things to overcome it.” Lucie

“It showed us how an engineer’s work day is and what tools they use to do their job.” Greta

We also learned about the different types of engineers (mechanical, civil, electrical and chemical.)
