We woke up at 0700 hrs and had breakfast prepared by Christopher, Charles, James and Vignesh. Then we set off to A.B Paterson College at 0830 hrs for the beginning of our Mathematics Modelling Forum.
As we reached the College , we saw students from different schools there as well. To begin, we attended a lecture by Mr Firestone on the applications of Math Modelling, which caught our attention and kept us thinking.
We had a short break before proceeding to the first segment of our Math Modelling Forum, "How to go to Mars". We were divided into groups, joining other schools to solve a modelling task. We were challenged to find out the following 2 things:
1) The landing where we need to decide the best design of the craft to let the rover land safely on Mars,
2) The design of the rover that needs to be considered for the rover to travel around Mars.
After that we had sports activities like Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer and Captain's ball with students from other schools.We thoroughly enjoyed the activities and look forward to going to A.B Paterson College again.
