Navy Activity Day for Year 9

Year 9 students were given the opportunity to take part in the following STEM activity. 

Students were given a realistic scenario where they were lost at sea with broken communications. They would have to make contact with another vessel or land by building a tower with two satellites attached.

These activities are designed for small groups to work on strategy, communication and teamwork.
The equipment used is simple in structure (think very large Meccano) but designed to encourage the use of students’ imagination and STEM skills. 

Group sessions like this will develop student’s ability to work together as a group, adapt, improvise and communicate to ensure their design is as effective as possible.
