Making FOOTBALL robots

Good little kit - provides all parts needed except battery. Can be challenging to assemble - but rewarding.
Pictures below.

Stirling motor

Making a STIRLING motor is quite tricky. One of our STEM stars is trying to put a working model together, with occasional assistance.

Making a steady hand game

Easy to make little project - can be made from a kit - basic electrical competence - can be extended easily. A good project for STEM students to lead a younger Y7 class.
