Gold award: design and make your own skateboard
To begin the project, students:
• Carry out some research into skateboard design and how they vary.
• Find out about the different components - how are they manufactured and designed?
• What different shapes and sizes are skateboards available in?
• Research the science behind skateboarding. What affects performance?
They then sketch some design ideas and consider the pros and cons of each design, before using 3D drawings and/or CAD to illustrate their final designs.
