Technology Challenge

For our school wide technology challenge we decided to make a pulley that would raise a flag up a flag pole. We discussed what our brief was and what specifications were needed before embarking on our design process.  I am very impressed with the designs that Room 8 has come up with. We have some very inventive students!!
