The Winner
The aim of the PaperClip Challenge was simple. Every student who entered received a paper clip and 3 weeks to trade up, using their sales and communication skills. The winner was Conor Moore who achieved a canoe in 7 trades. He traded a freezer bag sealer, 3 highlighters, luminous light-up pen, tin whistle, scooter, two collector edition LPs and finally a canoe.
