This workshop challenges students to work in small teams to design and build a solar powered car. Teams will then gather data on how their car performs when charged to various voltages and use this data to attempt to have their car land on a given target.
In this workshop, students will create simple circuits using a 'Crumble Microcontroller' with LEDs, switches and buzzers. Students will program their Crumble to operate these circuits.
Students will work through a series of challenges to program a Microbit to operate a model car. Students will use what they have learned to create a remote controlled car which they will use to complete a final challenge.
Students will work in teams to assemble a working model of a wind turbine, they will then investigate gear ratios and blade design in order to optimise their wind turbine to produce the highest possible voltage.
The FIRST LEGO League is a global science and technology challenge for teams of up to ten students aged 9 to 16. The students work together to explore a given topic and to design, build and program a LEGO EV3 robot to solve a series of missions.
The F1 in Schools competition involves teams of students designing and manufacturing CO2-powered model F1 racing cars using sophisticated computer aided design software and computer aided manufacturing techniques (CAD/CAM). Teams compete for prestigious awards with the chance of representing Wales at the National and World Finals.
The Big Bang @ School supports schools to deliver an event to excite pupils about STEM subjects and inspire them to consider science or engineering careers.
The Big Bang @ School is part of the wider Near Me Big Bang programme, led by EngineeringUK in partnership with over 200 organisations.
A STEM Day can involve a combination of the workshops listed above.
