20 March 2018

Three students from Caroline Chisholm Catholic College, Braybrook, have had their budding engineering projects accepted into the 2018 Top Designs exhibition.  System engineering students Rohan Malhotra, Bishal Shrestha and James Bartolo from the college had their creations selected for the exhibition. College spokesman Richard Liistro said the honour was testament to the students' hard work.

'In order to be accepted, you have to maintain an average grade of A or A-plus,' Mr Liistro said. 'A lot of work goes into the documentation of their designs.' The students spent the year working on their projects, which included a rocket launcher, a sisyphus machine that uses a marble and magnets to create images, and a version of the Mars Rover controlled by mobile phone.

'The student created not only the rover, but the program used to operate it,' Mr Liistro said. The annual exhibition will be held at Melbourne Museum in the new year.
