Congratulations to Sam and Alexander who came 1st in the area heat of the K’nex Construction Challenge which was held in Ballymena Academy. The brief for their construction was ‘Design and Build three existing playground attractions’. At least one of the playground rides had to be able to move. The construction had to be sturdy.
Sam and Alexander designed an amazing playground which included three moving rides - swing, see-saw and roundabout. They then added additional attractions - monkey bars, climbing frame with slide and they also had a picnic table and bins for litter all enclosed by a fence.
Out of 24 teams they were the winners! They now go forward to the Northern Ireland K’Nex Challenge on 24th June 2019 at Jordanstown.
