The team of Michael, Louise, Evan and Sophie performed like seasoned professionals again at our last Sponsoring Club visit in Gosford. After all, we did have our District GSE practise session the night before. It was a busy program featuring the Science and Engineering Challenge with PP Bob Nelson encouraging 8 teams of Rotarians and guests to build a "catapult" and shoot a rubber golf ball throught a hoop as a demonstration of our engineering skills (or lack thereof). Many tried but none succeeded. This was followed by an excellent presentation on the Challenge program by Dr Sue Gould, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services) from The University of Newcastle. What a wonderful program to generate increased awareness of the sciences in our high school kids. Thank you to President Cliff and the Rotary Club of Gosford.
