Today, our Year 9 pupils embarked on an exciting journey into the realm of mechanical engineering, thanks to the engaging workshops led by The Inspirational Learning Group.
Our pupils were challenged to construct a free-standing marble run using everyday materials such as cardboard, lollipop sticks, and plastic cups. The challenge was to engineer a design that would keep the marble in motion for a minimum of seven seconds.

While the task presented its fair share of challenges, our pupils showcased remarkable tenacity and determination. Through trial, error, and innovative problem-solving, they demonstrated the true essence of resilience in the face of complexity.
We’re incredibly proud of their ingenuity and perseverance throughout the workshop. These hands-on experiences not only foster a deeper understanding of STEM concepts but also cultivate crucial skills for future success.
