Durham Federation Science


Yr 7 & 8 Engineering Day

 On Thursday 3rd March the Maths and Science Areas will be running an Engineering Day for all of our Year 7 and 8 students. We have guests joining us for the day to help show why engineering is a rewarding and interesting career possibility that requires creative minds to solve challenging problems. This day is part of an on-going project funded by Creative Partnerships.

The activities on the day will include a hands-on presentation from racing driver Anthony Dunn; bridge building, constructing model Spitfires; building a radio controlled plane; designing, building and programming Lego robots; and using maths to solve engineering problems. We will also have consultants from EDT who will work for the day with 50 of our girls on an engineering challenge

From around 9.30 on the day you will be able to follow on our live event blog below what our students are up to, and see how they take on these engineering challenges.
