Week 4 has been a quiet one.

We have constructed the profile for the newly formed P7 Team, which can be seen below:

P7 Team

Team Leader: Amy Walker

Co-ordinator: Annie Legg

Team Members: Leigh Lawson

This week the Engineering group started to program the robot Ken built. Their ultimate aim is to steer the robot around the classroom to find a pin. Currently, they are trying to program the robot to rebound off an object it may crash into. The Energy Group researched which energy would be best for powering an AAA battery; they were looking at solar energy. The P7 Team started writing questions for the maths relay they have created.

We also interviewed Miss Mortimer to look at how the project is progressing:

 What is the ultimate aim of the STEM club?

“The ultimate aim of the STEM club is to encourage and enthuse as many people as possible in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.”

How do you think each group is doing?

“They are doing very well; there is strong leadership and very good team players.”

What equipment have we got?

“Loads! We have been really lucky to get a grant of nearly £2000 pounds from the Royal Society. Lots of kit for testing renewable energies and all the equipment needed to build a scratch built rover.”

What will happen to STEM when we have built the Rover?

“Hopefully we will use our skills and equipment to start the project with a new group of S1s.”

When do you reckon our Rover will be finished?

“The rover might be finished by the summer term.” 

More to come soon!
