      from
     
     
      across

      Daniel

      Hannah
      Sutherland,
      Caleb
      Curtis,
      and
      Gabriel
     
     
      Landry
      took
      first
      place
      in
      the
      junior

      design
      category
      of

      held
      in
      Montreal
      March
      9
      to
      12.
     
    

    
     
      The
      teams
      had
      to
      construct
      a
      machine
      that
      would
      move
      sand
      a
      distance
     
     
      of
      eight
      feet,
      and
      accurately
      deposit
      that
      sand
      into
      a
      bucket,
      in
      two
      timed
     
     
      trials
      of
      three
      minutes
      each.
      The
      design
      had
      to
      include
      hydraulics
      and
      the
     
     
      machine
      had
      to
      fit
      into
      a
      photocopy
      paper
      box.
      It
      had
      to
      be
      completely
      stand-
     
     
      alone,
      with
      no
      physical
      handling
      from
      any
      team
      member.
     
    

    
     
      The
      students
      were
      also
      required
      to
      present
      a
      15-minute
      explanation
     
     
      and
      demonstration
      of
      their
      design,
      an
      aspect
      of
      the
      competition
      that
      was
      worth
     
     
      40
      per
      cent
      of
      their
      mark.
      It
      was
      this
      demonstration
      that
      won
      UPEI’s
      team
     
     
      additional
      honours.
      Palmer,
      Sutherland,
      Curtis,
      and
