This year the theme was "Into Orbit" which explored the idea of exploring and living in space. 

Eight teams respresented BGHS. These comprised of students from both 7S and 8S classes.  Two teams from 7S achieved the "Project" and "Core Values" awards respectively.

A team from 8S was presented with the "Champions Award" and has qualified for the State Championships.  Congratulations to all teams who represented the school. This is the second consecutive year that this team has qualified for the championships. BGHS wishes you all the best in the next phase of the competition.
