We’ve partnered with the Royal Air Force to provide this exciting and FREE Virtual STEM Day for 10 primary schools across the UK.
Run as a half-day, online workshop, students will be guided through an engaging, hands-on project.
Students will work in teams to design and build three gliders - each being unique in their form, shape, and materials. This project is for students in Year 4-6 (England and Wales), P4-6 (Scotland) or Year 5-7 (Northern Ireland) with up to 45 students from each school able to take part.
Building teamwork, listening, and problem-solving skills, students will learn how to test these gliders, seeing and learning how different factors such as balance, wing shape, and other forces act together to impact flight success.

What
This is a great, fully funded opportunity for your Year 4-6 (England and Wales), P4-6 (Scotland) or Year 5-7 (Northern Ireland) students to become aerospace engineers for the morning!
We will supply each school with all the equipment and materials required for the project for up to 45 students from each school, guiding them through the engineering cycle of planning, creating, testing, and improving via a YouTube Live link.
PLEASE NOTE: This opportunity is only available to schools who have not yet received a RAF STEM Activity this academic year.
