PLC & MPPS join forces to save Captain Barkonaut!

PLC's puppy, May, was stranded on Mars! Luckily, eight of our Year 3 students selected at random joined forces with students from North Cottesloe Primary and PLC to participate in a Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths program, answering the SOS call and successfully rescuing the astronaut puppy!

For three half-day sessions over three weeks at PLC, the students faced many challenges involving problem-solving, following extremely detailed and complex instructions, designing and building rocket launchers and parachutes using only a few pop-sticks, paper and elastic bands, deciphering riddles, exploring Virtual and Augmented Reality with goggles and iPads, and driving remote-controlled rovers they built out of Technics Lego through an obstacle course, all while under tight time pressure.

What a captivating experience! Our students represented Mosman Park Primary with excellent manners and enthusiastic participation. We can't wait to be invited back!
