Alikhan Kalibayev and Madi Shaiken of Team B3AVERS^3 from Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Kokshetau bagged First runner-up during the 2020 iteration of the Amazing Spaghetti Machine Contest – International!
This annual competition is open to all international high school students between the ages of 14–17. Each team was required to design an overall machine to achieve the task set by the contest organisers. The overall machine was composed of multiple smaller machines built by individual team members.
Whilst always a difficult project, this year had even more challenges than usual due to the Covid Pandemic. Team members must observe physical distancing and need construct their own individual machines but have to submit a single completed video. To count as part of the overall machine, individual machines made by each member must have an ‘overlapping’ step with an identical transfer of energy. This will allow teams to work together without needing to be in the same space/area.
A video footage edited by the team containing different camera angles and shots, and showing as clearly as possible the machine’s various steps, running in sequence from beginning to end was submitted to Melbourne School of Engineering for judging.
Team Nspire from Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Kokshetau was the top winner in the 2019 Edition of the competition.
