CGi Technology Challenge - June 2011
Every June, eight Year 9, Design & Technology students from the Grammar School are invited to take part in the CGi Technology Challenge that involves Secondary students from throughout the Bailiwick.
This year, the challenge was to produce a device that showed "the need for speed" and pop a water filled balloon over a willing States Deputie's head! The guest for the day was Richard Noble (the driving force behind the World Land Speed Record attempts).
A great time was had by all and model cars really "flew" down the course.
