BP Challenge

BP Challenge is a hands-on competition where students work as a team using simple materials to solve problems.

This year your task is to design and make (either to mock-up or prototype stage) an enrichment item for either a tiger or exotic parrot at Hamilton Zoo.

Full details and entry forms for the BP Challenge are here

We have put together information about tigers and sun conures to help you design your enrichment item for the BP Zoo Challenge.
