Talofa lava.
This week in engineering, Whaea Ruth had invited an engineer that specialized in civil engineering. He told us interesting things about what he does and the importance of it.
Our first activity was a fascinating one that involved two buckets of water, one with a hole and the other one without a hole. Our task was to try and not lose any water. Our goal was to go to the other side where a cone was located, go around, and come back without spilling that much water through the hole.
Our second activity was based on a video of Tuvalu and how climate change makes the sea level rise and flood the island. My team involved me, Kharli, and Demetrius. Our goal was to construct a seawall that can withstand water pressure. Our materials were two pieces of paper, a strip of tape and clay, scissors, and 5 pieces of straw.
In conclusion, I found engineering exciting and am proud that I got a learning opportunity like this. I enjoyed getting to learn new things and found it admirable how the people of Tuvalu stayed at their home to fight for their island even though it might go.
Thank you for reading my report!
