Students rise to the challenge

Fifteen more able Year 7 students recently attended a superlearning workshop at Dawlish Community College’s Red Rock Centre.

The workshops provided opportunities for students to demonstrate team building skills and a wide range of problem solving and lateral thinking techniques.

Events included transporting a ping pong ball for 50 metres without touching it and attempting to answer Fermi questions like; “How long would it take an ant to walk around the equator”.

The highlight of the morning was when the student teams built a domino rally where hundreds of dominos would collapse in sequence, climb a bridge and ring a bell.
