TWO local schools boast some of Melbourne’s best lateral thinkers following the Tournament of the Minds.
Tintern Anglican Girls Grammar School won the tournament’s regional finals and will advance to the state finals in October.
The team’s mission was to design a board game using limited materials. Armed with only four batteries, wires, foil, buzzers, torch globes, magnets, nails, wood, elastic bands and plastic containers the team went to work.
Students Cassie McGannon, Margaret Steel, Kristen Borland, Mercia Howard, Heather Shortage, Kristen Palmer and Caitlin Gardiner spent six weeks working on the maths and engineering challenge.
Luther College’s team members Martin Hoffmann, Jemma McEwen, Belinda Lee, Chris Sanzaro, Tim Syratt, Todd Webber and Kylie Smith came second.
The winning teams from all categories will meet again on October 8 at Monash University to compete in the state trials before going on to the national trials in Adelaide later this year.
