EPro8 is an exciting problem‑solving competition where teams use basic electrical circuits, building materials, and everyday objects to tackle a series of engineering challenges. The goal is simple: complete as many problems as possible within the time limit.

At Rangitoto College, teams train during Terms 1 and 2, before competing in Term 3 heats against other schools for the chance to reach the grand final. Along the way, students develop communication, teamwork, and critical‑thinking skills, all while working under real time pressure.

For students who love a challenge and enjoy thinking outside the box, EPro8 is the perfect opportunity to collaborate with like‑minded peers, test your creativity, and push your problem‑solving skills to the next level. Join the EPro8 Challenge and see how far your ideas can take you.
