We’ve partnered with the Royal Air Force to provide this exciting Virtual STEM Day for 10 state 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, build and test a rocket for launching a satellite into space. This project is for students in Year 4-6 (England and Wales), P5-7 (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 rockets, seeing and learning how different factors such as friction, gravity and other forces act together to impact success of launch.
