2 new challenges coming soon... What's in it for you?
Are you already thinking ahead to next term?
Are you keen to encourage your pupils to use their Design & Technology skills to address real-world problems?
Launching 11th August!
Sky’s the Limit 

Ever thought about robots that fly? Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) are revolutionising the way we work in industry, healthcare and wildlife conservation. In this challenge, learners explore how engineers design, adapt, and test UAVs and use creative problem-solving to prototype their own aerial solutions. 
Pipe Pioneers 

Step into the world of civil engineering robotics to find out how the world beneath our feet is kept in shape. From robots that inspect our underground pipelines to those that ensure we have regular access to clean water and gas, your pupils will design and prototype a robot capable of working in underground extreme environments.
Curriculum links: 

Design & Technology: Select from a wide range of materials according to their characteristics.
Science: Plan and carry out scientific enquiries to test predictions. Make and record observations.
Literacy: Communicate their ideas through discussions.
Curriculum links: 

Design & Technology: Create annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams and prototypes.
Literacy: Communicate their ideas through discussions
