HERE WE EXPERIMENTED WITH TWO SMALLER HOVERCRAFT MOULDS.
WE VACUUM FORMED THEM IN TANDEM TO PRODUCE AN
EFFICIENT HOVERCRAFT.
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

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.
