Design a jet pack for playing football on the Moon
Students will design a jet pack that can be worn by either the players or referee during a football game on the Moon. They will consider how a jet pack works and the different parts of a jet pack. They will then sketch an idea for a wearable jet pack with consideration for how it will fit, the weight of the jet pack and what materials it should be made from.
This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach about producing initial design ideas for products and systems. It could also be used as part of wider scheme of learning focussed on the engineering challenges associated with living on the Moon.
