Jordan had a design project to build a scale model of a practical solution to a social problem with various design references. Aiden and I joined in, and helped her build a borehole pump that was designed as a school see-saw. It was pretty cool fun. The hidden design parameter was that it had to be built so that it could be quickly dismantled (for the trip back to SA\) and then reassembled again.

Here is the final product, with grass for the playground and water to pump (the bucket being the borehole). This is the final test at 8.45pm; Jordan and Simon were leaving for the airport at 9.15:
