Comments from teachers on the K地ex Challenge 2002

I am sure the children gained a lot from the day and hopefully they will have gained positive ideas about design and engineering. The children really enjoyed themselves and we had a wide range of toy deigns.
Glais Primary

Thank you for your efforts and the Knex project. The children really enjoyed with good results. If there are any more projects we would be more than happy to participate.
Ammanford Junr

The pupils are quite excited at the thought of going to Cardiff to compete against other winners. Thank you again for enabling our school to take part in the competition. It was a really worthwhile exercise and thoroughly enjoyed by all
