As part of Rodborough School's recent 'Eco Week' their Year 8 students were challenged to solve a sustainable energy problem. Each team was given a pack of resources with the brief to design and build a wind-powered crane. The students had just 90 minutes to brainstorm their ideas and complete a working model. The workshop provided good opportunities for team-working and creative thinking, as well as stimulating an interest in STEM subjects. The teachers commented that it was an excellent activity; the students felt that they had learnt new skills and enjoyed working in a team.
