Hello from Latvia!

Here is our chain reaction!

Well, some of our students in Class 6a were bored this week at school, so they decided to build a chain reaction. That was more fun than doing homework :)
Here is what they have created:

13 - England - Technical Chain Reaction

Number 13 - unlucky for some!

Here is England's Technical Challenge!

We had so many hands on deck and pooled many recycled resources from all around in order to make it. It was a fight against the clock to get some quality chain reaction spanning the entire school corridor and Y5/6 classrooms! It was great fun so thanks to all those who took part and helped create such a special day.

Good luck to everyone! 😉 👍👦👧

9 - Serbia - Technical Chain Reaction

Best regards from Serbia

8 - Scotland - Technical Chain Reaction

Here comes the technical chain reaction from Scotland.
Our youngsters who are only 8 years old found it very challenging this year to create something that would work well. They had a lot of good ideas, but struggled to get things to proceed as they wanted them to!
Once again, this is their work, with no adult help.
We'd like to wish all teams taking part in ECR 2019 the very best of luck!

We have chosen this name in 1991, because the school aims to educate students to become responsible, creative and thoughtful young teenagers.
