What a brilliant final session working on the hovercraft project. Next week we need to meet on Monday evening ( staff meeting on the Tuesday evening that week ). Regarding the hovercraft we experimented a little with the cushions ( bags ) and used a larger cushion to see what effects it had. We also looked at making simple steering rudders and how these affected the hovercraft.
We are moving on to structures - however we have not finished looking at hovercraft. Next year we will make larger models - possibly big enough to lift YOU...!!!
Can you find out what Fibonacci gave the western world - apart from his famous number sequence? Hint look up Liber abaci
I love to share ideas and hope that this STEM blog helps others to consider an after school club. We thoroughly enjoy ourselves making mistakes, developing thinking skills and practical competences. We are greatly impressed and indebted to the STEM CLUBS network. Mr J.Geekie IEng MIIE
