Year 7 students at the Becket School took part in a STEM Engineering activity day organised by Education Business Futures.

 

The aim of the day was to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) with the students undertaking exciting challenges including constructing a tower from marshmallows and spaghetti, designing and building a rocket launcher, a drag race buggy powered by an elastic band and a four metre tall tetrahedron.

Check out the events section of the website to see the latest STEM challenges which have been added and how you can be involved with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics activities.

 

As part of the national Design and Technology week which runs from 21st - 25th June, Key 1 & 2 learners are being challenged to write a short adventure story about Shaun the Sheep and his friends, and make it come to life using moving pictures!
