Drop it
In this activity from the IET, pupils use the context of the theme, the future of flight, to design a method or system of getting emergency aid pallets from a future aircraft to the ground safely.
Pupils analyse existing methods of achieving this then use the information they've gathered to create sketches of their initial ideas, before producing a developed and completed final design for safely dropping emergency aid to its intended destination
