George and Hunter - raincoat challenge

Awa Technology Challenge

Children were split into 4 rooms and had to complete a task on behalf of their awa (house groups).
They were a shelter to hold one child during an emergency, a backpack strong enough to hold a book, a stretcher strong enough to carry 50kgs and a raincoat that was shower proof.
BUT.... the catch was all of these things had to be made with newspapers, celloptape, some had string and some had plastic bags.  So a lot of team work and problem solving was needed for this.
It was a great morning.
