Building STEM Skills with Lego Engineers
Last week, we had Sean and Fatima joined our Year 7s as they became Lego Engineers! Each Year 7 class took part in this workshop on either Monday or Tuesday. First, we discussed different jobs in STEM and the skills that were needed these roles. Pupils were then put into groups and had to design and make a vehicle (with Lego) that could carry a heavy black box Lego brick, which represented the vehicle’s engine, the furthest distance off a ramp. They were then allowed to trial their vehicle and then make adjustments before competing against each other and winning a Lego star keyring. Each form class had a fantastic time and we thank Sean and Fatima for their wonderful workshop!
