Our topic this half term is Design and Technology.
Design brief:
To design and build a prototype go-kart.
Design criteria:
- must move freely
- must be able to hold a model figure
- must use an electrical circuit for motor
Challenge:
To use a steering mechanism.
The children designed their go karts using annotated sketches. These included dimensions and components. This week, they began building and they made a fantastic start.
They each had a role within their team:
- an organiser of the components
- a builder
- a design checker
They worked amazingly in their groups using great listening and teamwork skills.
