FA Students Win Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award at Competition!

The Fountain Academy MATE Underwater ROV team competed at the provincial competition today. The event was hosted by NSCC at Survival System's Training Limited wave tank facility in Dartmouth. The team was a very late entry but the boys managed to overcome this incredible challenge along with mechanical and electrical difficulties right until the last moment. Their patience, dedication, hard-work, creativity and ingenuity certainly paid off (don't have a part? 3D print it!) as they walked away with the Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award! Quoting the presenter "they could sell an ROV to anyone". This was also incredibly impressive as the ROV was not with them for the judged presentation as a motor controller had to be replaced last minute!

We hope to build on our success and challenge the returning champions, Prince Andrew, next year!

FYI: Evan Jobb also coached the team and Mae Seto, Luc's mother, helped as well. 

Team members include: Fan Xiule, Michael MacGregor, Max Leeb, Alex Gillis, Aristides, Andy, Antony

Congratulations to everyone!  Well done!
