Dumfries House – 15th December 2022
Pupils explored the forces at work when it comes to flight and space travel and how these forces differ on earth and in space . Pupils explored the challenges surrounding space junk and the threat it poses to future space exploration and then used an imagine , design , build and test process to solve the space junk problem . By applying their skills and knowledge to create these solutions , young people gained an insight into the varied and exciting career choices and encouraged them to pursue STEM subjects at school and beyond .
This workshop was accredited through Industrial Cadets at Challenger level . All pupils achieved this award and were presented with certificates .
