Lab 13 Competition Success
A group from Lab13 entered into an Ignite! competition (called invent!) with their design for a chain reaction model that started with a flick and ended in a pop of balloon. Their design got through to the final, in which they had to show their design in action in front of four judges and the other competing schools. Thankfully their creation worked first time and they where the runners up! The team won some Amazon vouchers and science games for the lab.
