Nelson City Council Visit

Mel and Cameron's slideshow
Paris and Eve teamwork
Mel and Cameron from Nelson City Council came to talk to us about civil engineering. We saw a slide show about what they do, like fixing the water systems, designing the Saxton stadium and putting up artwork. We then built a structure that Leonardo Da Vinchi designed for the soldiers to cross, using ice blocks and blue tack, to show us what civil engineers do. It was a challenge to build but really fun. 
It was a great afternoon and we really appreciated them coming in.
