Epro8 is a competition that includes problem solving skills, thinking and engineering.  You read the questions and tasks from a booklet,  then try to figure out how to make the requirement.  By doing so your team can earn points if you do it correctly.  But it’s not always easy – sometimes it takes ages to figure out how something works or why is it not working.  Personally I think it’s fun and it’s a great way to try new things.  The competition can sometimes be stressful but the judge will normally give you a hint on where it’s gone wrong.

I really liked how Epro8 challenged me to come out of my comfort zone.  I enjoyed especially when we did the competition.  You get to spend a whole lunchtime engineering these amazing contraptions.  In conclusion even if you think you don’t like engineering, you should try out because there may be a chance you find your passion.
