P7B KNEX Challenge
Our P7 pupils took their first steps into engineering with a bridge building challenge using K’NEX.Working collaboratively and without any prior learning in this subject or even any instructions, the children were asked to design and build a free standing bridge capable of supporting a weight.We were impressed by their teamwork and collaboration, as well as their creativity. Over the next few weeks we will be learning more about different types of bridges in a fun and practical way involving many more engineering challenges. Be sure to check out what we get up to.
