Class of 2017 Discussion Thread!

[Fizzybubbles]

Oh and just wanted to share something exciting with you guys ...at school we have this comp called "Bridge Building"
You have to build a bridge from 25 skewers and glue, the winner is the bridge that can hold the most weight. There were about 20 groups participating Yesterday was the competition and I came FIRST place my bridge held 19Kg! So now I have to
represent my school and compete at the State Bridge Building Comp on the 6th of August and if I win (I doubt it) my bridge will be
on display at Scienceworks

LOL our convo got transferred! Hahaha anyways, what compound does it contain?? Is it stronger than super glue hahaha i'm curious

[Hannibal]

Fair enough, funny how this got started before the 2016 one .

[Zealous]

Wow.

The Class of 2017 Thread got created before the Class of 2016 Thread... what a fancy bunch of students.

It's crazy to think that this thread would be active for 3 years (you guys graduate in ages...) but nonetheless it won't be able to beat the epicness that is the Class of 2014! :D!

Bloody hell. Inb4 some parent makes a 2031 thread.

Yeah I was kinda confused when it got transferred, haha The glue, well it's called 'Araldite epoxy glue' fancy right haha
It has two parts and you have to squeeze both out mix it together then use it, but once it is mixed you can only use it within 2-3 minutes or else it won't be sticky anymore.

Now that would be keen! I'm up for a Class of 2023 thread if there are any others out there! ^.^

Great to see so many of Class of 2017-ers around! To think I'll be just about to start high school when you guys are just finishing, sounds like such a fun adventure!
