As part of STEM fortnight, we have been participating in the primary 5 K’nex challenge. First, we did some mini challenges to find out about the different parts and then we started on the main challenge. The main challenge was to follow a design brief to make a bridge that could open. We had so much fun and learnt about the planning process, the construction process and the assessment process. We also learnt how to make structures stable and sturdy and what shapes support structures best.
