Victory due to luck and teamwork

Soaring win: (from left) Sheela, Shelen and Leanne showing off their bird-shaped air purifier.

IT IS for the fun and camaraderie that students frequent fast food joints but for the all-girl team from Kota Kinabalu’s Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School, it was an interesting talk about birds at one such outlet that led to the creation of their winning prototype.

Emerging lower secondary champs in the Sabah leg of the RHB-The Star Mighty Minds National Challenge 2014, Shelen Wong, Sheela Wong and Leanne Sario, all 15, created a bird-shaped air purifier as a solution to the theme “Flaps and Traps”.
