We’ve so much STEM-sational news for you that we’re changing our MerseySTEM School Newsletter to a fortnightly update! In the meantime… here’s a few extra goodies you might like.
The Land Rover 4×4 Technology Challenge!
The Land Rover 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge is a challenge aimed at key stage 3, 4 and 5 students in school / young people aged 11 – 19 years old in any out of school initiative (i.e. STEM Clubs, Scouts, Cadets, Guides, Youth Clubs, etc…).
The challenge involves 4 to 6 team members working together to design and build a radio controlled 4-wheel-drive (4×4) vehicle, to set specifications, that can successfully negotiate a specially designed test track that emulates real life and what a full scale 4×4 vehicle can do. The challenge is an excellent opportunity for young people to work in teams and gain an awareness and understanding of project management using key skills.Click here for more…
