We were very excited to invite a team from the Royal Navy into school to deliver a team building STEM session.
Pupils were challenged to design, build and launch rockets/flares in a real-life scenario where a boat has capsized in the ocean and they need to be rescued. Pupils needed to think about forces acting on the rocket and how to reduce friction and drag to ensure that the rockets reached the required height. Pupils showed great employability skills and worked as part of a team in their constructions.
