BP Challenge- Science and Technology	Article images - click to enlarge -
Author : Edusearch
For further information contact: Debbie Woodhall Royal Society of New Zealand, PO Box 598, Wellington (04) 472-7421 (ph) (04) 473 1841 (fax) The BP Challenge is a fun event between teams, challenging them to design and develop 'solutions' to problems. The BP Challenge is a valid and useful learning activity on its own because of the personal and team skills that can be developed, as well as being useful to introduce topics in the technology and science curricula. 'Solutions' to BP Challenges have to meet the performance criteria defined in the problem for each BP Challenge which also have constraints of time and materials. Common and cheap materials are used in BP Challenges to make them affordable and easy to organise, to encourage innovation and to focus on creating solutions using students' greatest assets: their individual intelligence and the synergy from combining them in a team. Because BP Challenges attempt to encourage team work within a social framework we trust that they will help teachers in their task of having their students become thinking, creative and social people.
