Book a visit from an engineer to give a talk on the work that engineers do, followed by a K’nex building challenge where students will be asked to build bridges, towers, working vehicles, robotic arms or a host of different possibilities.
The engineers help the students come up with the best design possible and then test their work. This is a workshop that stretches the student's critical thinking, creativity, group work and problem-solving.
Suitable for a wide range of class groups as older class groups are asked to build more complex structures.
