72 Backed Up to The Future – Geelong Tech School

As part of our Grow curriculum 72 visited the Geelong Tech School to experience the Backed Up to The Future program. The two days of the program saw students build a robot designed to clear blockages from a drainpipe. We studied real life scenarios from Barwon Water to get an understanding of the problems encountered with “fatburgs” and flushable products then constructed and coded robots to push a clear path through a simulated pipe blockage. There were some very innovative designs, some developed after some modifications were needed.
