BoXWARS

This, ladies and gentlemen, is KSC BoXWARS, as declared by Year 8 STEAM elective class.

What is BoXWARS?? If you’ve never heard of Boxwars before, then you’re in for a treat. The Year 8 STEAM class spent the last few sessions last term creating fabulous battle gear, from CARDBOARD ONLY, and then – yup, you guessed it – went to ‘war’ by completely destroying them (as well as other people’s creations). It’s an all-out frenzy of cardboard chaos, leaving their creations in bits and pieces.

Then when the battle is over, all battle gear is recycled! 

Until the next battle is declared……..enjoy!

YEAR 7

Year 7 STEAM students completed a bridge engineering challenge. They began by representing different countries which had different bridge building resources, and then "trading" resources to gather what they needed to construct a bridge. 

The brief was to design and construct a bridge that would span a 25cm gap, and be able to hold maximum weight. With limited resources they got creative in solving the problem.
