Year 8 and 9 pupils had a brilliant STEM Day with the Smallpiece Trust, taking on the challenge of designing and building a lander. 

Teams created and tested prototypes, focusing on stability, durability and cushioning to protect their payload on landing. Lots of creativity, problem-solving and teamwork on show as students tested, refined and improved their designs. Finally summarised their design in a presentation to their peers.

A fantastic hands-on introduction to real-world engineering and STEM careers. Congratulations to the winning group who successfully score 17/18 on teamwork, presentation, prototype testing and location.
