June STEAM Month Kicks Off at Port Regis Golf Club
06/11/2024
June is STEAM Month at Port Regis, and we have lots of exciting activities taking place! Last week, Years 1 and 2 spent the morning in Cunningham learning all about biomimicry. The children discussed aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, looking at how animals are designed to move at speed. They also looked at examples where designers, engineers, and scientists created products and inventions using nature as their inspiration, such as the Shinkansen bullet train, which was inspired by the kingfisher bird, and the McLaren car, which was inspired by the cheetah. The pupils then made balloon cars using kinetic energy to create a pushing force, enabling their cars to move forward, before decorating them as a cheetah, peregrine falcon, or shark! Keep your eyes peeled for more STEAM stories, including Robot Wars and the Sebastian Conran Design Challenge, coming soon… 👀 #portregis #steam #steameducation #biomimicry #biomimicrydesign #aerodynamics #hydrodynamics #preprep #prepschool #shaftesbury #gillingham #motcombe #dorset
