In Primary Six we have just taken part in the National K'nex challenge. It is organised by STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and aims to encourage problem solving and engineering skills through the use of K'nex building materials.
The challenge this year was to design a windmill for Prince Arthur. There were lots of design features that had to be included from doors and platforms, to even gears to help turn the sails! Every group found success in this challenge, with lots of novel and interesting ideas. The video below shows a few of our models and the design process we followed.
Well done Primary Six, I can see some of you could have a future in architecture and engineering!
