The first Collaborative Enquiry cycle for 2016 was the Moat Boat Paddle Battle. This activity was a part of the Year 8 Materials and Force class and aimed to create a practical application for students to show their understanding of different forces while at the same time developing their skills in 3D printing and design processes. We were fortunate to be invited to the Melbourne Mini Makerfaire at Swinburn University where we showcased our activity to a wider audience.
