IMechE

This collection of resources provide challenges for children to design, make and improve. They link to aspects of D&T and provide a nice context for science learning.  They also encourages problem solving, perseverance, creativity, cooperation and spatial thinking. A list of equipment needed  is also supplied within the resource, though children could try to create a similar structure with materials available to them.

This resource has been provided by IMechE, (the Institute of Mechanical Engineers).
