'Unlocking Curious Minds' Science & Technology Camp

This week, a group of students had the opportunity to participate in a Science & Technology Camp in Napier.

On Day 0ne, the two lessons were Vex Robotics, where they got use a computer to programme a robot to carry out simple tasks.

The afternoon session was on Yeast Fermentation. The group measured the Brix (sugar level) of grape juice and a sucrose solution before adding yeast. These mixes were then placed in cold and hot water containers and the changes graphed.
