Wheels in Motion

Learners will develop skills that help them work collaboratively while building upon challenges and making improvements to their budgets during the workshop.

The class is split into groups and given the same set of LEGO pieces. Using a design brief the learner build a car that will travel down a ramp with the aim of trying to get the furthest distance.

The groups will have to consider the forces that are acting on the car and how they can overcome any issues or use the forces to their advantage. Once all cars have been tested the groups will then be given a budget to buy parts to make changes to their car.

The cars will then be retested.
