YACHTS In The Engine Room

This term, our young enthusiastic students concluded that without Engineers, new thinking and ideas could not become reality. Engineers who design, create and build new structures and products make our lives more comfortable. Students researched and investigated different structures and their purpose and functionality.

Our Engineers saw a challenge and assessed available resources. In design teams, students collaboratively brainstormed ideas from which plans and sketches were created. Prototypes were constructed and tested with much excitement surrounding the trials. Designs were revised and adjustments made, as students learnt from their mistakes and shared valuable peer feedback. Students refined and improved upon structure and function, assessing effectiveness and application in the real world. Hypotheses and predictions were proven or disproven, evoking animated discussions. Variables and impacting factors were carefully considered as wonderful discoveries were shared.

The Engineering workshop was a hive of buzzing activity as students rolled up their sleeves creating fantastic structures!
