Encouraging creative technology talent
Imagine having to design, build and test a coin sorter with only wooden dowel, card, square-sectioned wood, rubber bands, modelling material and Sellotape to work with. And you have only fours hours in which to complete the job.
That’s the sort of task facing more than 120 students from Harpenden and St Albans secondary schools taking part in a Rotary Technology Tournament held at Marlborough Science Academy, St Albans, each March. We run this event in association with the three St Albans Rotary clubs, with sponsorship from local businesses.
