Technology Challenge Workshop for pupils in Years 3 and 4.

A fun, two hour ‘hands-on’ workshop  using construction kits to investigate vehicles with large and small wheels, how wheels can be used in a conveyer belt and how wheels can be used as part of a caterpillar track mechanism on a remote control robot.

The focus of each workshop is for the pupils to design and make their own vehicle, with or without a remote control device, to go round an obstacle course or a conveyer belt for a factory.

This workshop is for up to 36 pupils in Years 3 or 4 supported by their class teacher. All resources, tuition and equipment are provided.

This workshop supports:

‘Controllable Vehicles’ UNIT 6D QCA
