Sixth Hilltop Tech Skills Challenge Builds on Previous Successes - 2006 Hilltop Challenge Material Now Available

Seventeen schools took part in the sixth annual Hilltop Challenge in Etobicoke on May 18th. This year's problem, which featured a hydraulic mechanism built around an electrically-powered conveyor proved to be a real challenge to the Grade 8 students competing. The team from Hilltop Middle School took first place.

A special thank you to everyone involved in the sixth annual Hilltop Challenge held in Etobicoke on May 4th and 18th:

• Steve Rogers for developing the problem and facilitating the workshop and competition days,
• Our judges Gord Jarvis, Ross McClure and Otto Wevers,
• Bombardier Aerospace in Downsview for hosting the Teacher Plant Tour,
• The Toronto District School Board for substitute teachers and other support,
• The students and teachers from our participating schools,
• The Challenge Organizing Committee: John Bachmann, Ernie Lynch, Neil Quimby, Alan Scott and Steve Rogers,
• And last, but not least, our school sponsors who covered the costs of the materials.
