Pupils from Mead Primary School took part in the Primary Engineering Competition and joined other school at the Ford Research and Development plant, Dunton. Jan Labedzki, Rebekah Avorgbedor, Ivan Coleman and Jacob Collins formed the two teams representing Mead School. They had to build a buggy out of wood and cardboard. The vehicle had to perform two tests; climb a slope and travel in a straight line on the flat. The teams also had to explain their model and how they had developed it to the judges. We also got a ride around the test track at the facility.
It was a great day and a fantastic experience for the children.
