On the 6th of March, twenty-five young and adventurous future physicists took off on their mini bus to test out the physics of Luna Park. The race was on once we got there to make sure that no rides were left untested. From racing dodgem cars to spinning upside down there was no doubt that everyone had a great time (for the record, yes we had worksheets to complete too!). Thanks to Mr. Rosenbrock and Ms. Gregotski for 'supervising' us and to Nick for filming all our adventures. A Video from the event can be found on the Colleges Facebook page. Video Found Here
