Activities Week - Design Challenge

As part of the schools activities week, groups of pupils chose to do particular challenges. For the Design Group a series of challenges were tackled throughout the day.

Challenge 1 - Air Powered Cars
Using a range of limited materials, pupils designed, constructed then raced air powered cars





Challenge 2 - Structures

Pupils had to build a structure from art straws capable of spanning a hole and supporting as much weight as possible whilst remaining lightweight.





Challenge 3 - Water Carriers

Given only 30 minutes, the pupils had to design and model a device capable of carrying a cup of water... on their head!





A relay race was held to determine the winner.
