F1 and out .... for now

We ran a race to determine the details of our winner so we could send thes off for the regional competition, so fingers crossed
We will pick up the STEM CLUB after Easter. It will be the third week back when we will hopefully launch our hot air balloons.
Check the calendar in Mr. Geekie's room.

Mr Hamshaw led a very interesting session showing students how to calculate the volume of the balloons they had made. This involved references to calculus and also using some very clever software.
