Geek Girls

Last week the geek girls undertook a group engineering challenge to design and make a working jump rope using only plastic bags, tape and scissors. The girls had fun coming up with new ideas and then trying out their creations.

This week, the Geek Girls created an Archimedes screw, an invention devised by Ancient Greek scientist and mathematician, Archimedes, over 2000 years ago, which is still in use today. Through trial and error, the girls successfully managed to use the screw to transport water uphill.
