“When we’re Covid-19 free, this is where I’d like to be”
“When we’re Covid 19 free, this is where I’d like to be” was the title to this years Engineers Week whole school project.
Recent school years have been very different due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Everybody has had to stick with travel restrictions sometimes limiting people to 5km of their own home.
For Engineers Week this year, we decided to spark the imaginations of our pupils and challenged them to draw or build a structure from a country or place that they’d love to visit when travel restrictions lift.
Our pupils certainly rose to the challenge and produced some wonderful designs and structures using all types of materials.
Check out each gallery below for a snapshot of some of the amazing creativity in this project and in other STEM activities during Engineers Week.
More pictures of activities to follow soon.
