# STEM competition

Our team of Year 6 children were challenged to design a balloon powered vehicle. All the schools were then given two runs to see whose worked the best. Ours worked well with a combined distance of over 5m and only 12cm behind the winners.

The team succeeded because they worked well as a team, listened to each other and also thought carefully about how to reduce friction in their vehicle.
