A big thank you to all teachers and students who entered the first TENZ Techno Challenge. Students from Year 1 – 10 were invited to design, model, test and evaluate an outcome designed to help with a need they had identified whilst at home during COVID-19 lockdown.
Judges were very impressed with the creativity and ingenuity of all students and were amazed at the technological understanding and language used in the entries.
