This week the children took part in a STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) challenge. They were tasked with building the tallest tower possible using 16 plastic cups. They were encouraged to think like engineers and problem solve to design a tower that was stable and wouldn’t easily collapse. They worked in small groups and talked through their ideas before beginning to build. They had great fun and came up with some great designs!
