Cancel this week STEMSTERS will continue when weather improves

Hope to make up lost time - lots of interesting projects to do, However commonsense stipulates that any risks must be eliminated regarding the awful weather.

Testing POP POP boats session at BGS

Here are some more POP POP boats being tested.
A very impressive effort - next we move on to some electronics work.

Making our pop pop boats

The students began to make and test their first pop pop boats tonight after school. We will be thinking about how to improve them and if we can add items such as funnels, superstructures etc.

Boats made from cans which have been press moulded into formers.We can make our own motors but to save time I have bought some motors for the students to fit.

Drinks consumed moulds started for POP POP boats

Students this week needed to prepare for next week first by consuming fizzy drinks as we needed the cans. These will be used to make pop pop boat hulls and other parts.

This done we concentrated on making our propeller boats work. Lots of testing - solving stability - and buoyancy, adjustments failures and the need to redesign moulds to make them more buoyant.

Building Propeller power boats

Started by consuming a well known fixxy drink - need the cans to build steam engine in the near future. Needed to improve boat hulls this week - motors, props ( grp ) etc issued. Testing next week - will post pictures.
