Year 7 outwit, outplay, outSTEM for the WRC

Year 7 students from Orara HS, Toormina HS, Coffs Harbour HS and Grafton South HS took part in a several STEM challenges as part of rally week at the International Stadium.

The students used their science, technology, engineering and mathematics knowledge, skills and understanding to undertake activities such as coding robots to race around a miniature race track.

The students also had the opportunity to tour rally central and get up close and personal with the rally cars. 

Everyone had a great day, despite the heat, and enjoyed working with students from a range of high schools.

Head teacher mathematics, Mrs. Hartmann, organised this unique event in partnership with Rally Australia to bring real world challenges to the students' theoretical learning.

The World Rally Championship concludes this weekend, with the title being decided here in Coffs Harbour.
