At this year's digital heats, @safetyscotland tasked pupils to uncover potential dangers on a building site, but with a twist.
Watching a video of a site, the teams had to list as many Covid-19 measures as they could see ๐

We love collaborating with companies like @HFMArchitecture. At our recent heats, they gave 'points to consider' and a site plan.
The task? To design a house that would fit perfectly both on the site plan and within the client's needs. And they produced some brilliant work!
Fantastic success today for our team of S2 pupils winning their virtual Build Your Future heat. Impressive team working, communication and decision-making! Thank you to @BYFAberdeen for making this happen. Everyone thoroughly enjoy it @hazleheadacad ๐
