On the 11th January 2012, 16 students took part in an Olympic challenge as a part of the ‘Invest in your Success’ project. 11 students were from Fullbrook School and 5 from Wishmore Cross. After a brief, their aim was to design and build, as a team, a construction that could be used as a prototype for an Olympic stadium for a sport of their choice. At the end, it had to be strong enough to hold at least a 1kg weight.
The students started to work as a team, as it’s something they don’t tend to do at school too often, and take on different roles. They also had to be able to explain their ideas/design to us at the end and it had to be big enough for the whole team to fit inside. It was also great to see some potential engineers shine through!
