Auckland Engineering Competition 2020

Recently we had teams enter the Auckland Engineering Competition. This was held onsite at SKC where students worked in groups of four to work out a mathematical solution to an engineering question. 

This year the question to consider was how many satellites can be launched into orbit before astronomers on earth can no longer observe the night sky without interruption. They looked and talked about different angles of approaching the question and were given 8 hours to put forward a solution.
 
Well done to the following students who took part:

Team 1:
Marcus Herrera
Yi Tao Sun
Carter Andrew
Fergus McMullan

Team 2:
Emily McCoy
Tuaiva Taafaki
Bea Bagongon
Alyssa Colina
