The Survival Island Showdown E-Week event was a success!
The event began with a trivia game, where groups answered questions about each of the participating clubs. Based on their final rankings, teams earned extra materials to help with their upcoming challenges.

Participants then faced three build challenges:
1. Construct a rain collector using their gathered materials.
2. Build a floating raft incorporating their rain collector to escape the island.
3. Storm-proof their raft to ensure it wouldn’t sink.

The teams all displayed amazing creativity, using their materials in unique ways to tackle each challenge. Congrats to the winning teams and happy E-Week! 🛠️🌟
