Technology Tournament 2026

The 2026 Rotary Technology Tournament was on 26th June at Wadham School. Teams of 4 students from Westfield Academy in Yeovil and Wadham School in Crewkerne were tasked to design, build and test an electric powered vehicle that ran through a tunnel and cleared a pile of debris. The entire task was to a limited timetable and with specific materials provided by the Rotary Club. The teams were judged on their planning and teamwork,  design analysis and solution, manufacture of the design and a portfolio of their workings and how successful the team was in achieving the task.

The Tournament  this year was at two levels: Foundation for KS 3 (ages 11 - 13) and Intermediate for KS 4 (ages 14-16).  The task for both levels is the same except that the Intermediate Level has a more exacting test.  There is an Advanced Level for KS 5 (16+) which has a more exacting test than the Intermediate Level.

Westfield Academy Yr 9 won the Foundation Level and Westfield Academy Yr 10A the Intermediate Level.

In a survey of the teams 97% of the team members said they would do it again next year.
