Maths is used throughout the construction of the structure. Because we use nothing more than dowel and rubber bands in all of our unique workshops the importance of triangulation in making all other two dimensional shapes strong is key in all the structures we build.
Construction Elements Included, where pupils have to follow instructions together to form the structure, so need to help and guide one another to ensure a successful build. We demonstrate how simple materials can be used to make strong structures
Problem solving and resilience are endemic in all of our workshops, but particularly in the STEAM orientated ones, like Bridge, Maths & Design, Shelters, Skyscrapers, Olympic Sculptures. Pupils Work individually, in groups and altogether to create one large structure, or remaining in groups make their own structure. e.g. bridge, shelter, sculpture. The teamwork and resilience needed helps develop pupils cooperative intelligence.
The world famous Globe Theatre is recreated by pupils, working individually in groups and altogther using notehing more than dowel and rubber bands. They imagine being a 'groudling' watching a play and the rowdyness that was common place during the performances. They learn about the construction of teh theatre and teh specioal effects that were used at the time.
We are happy to work with SEN pupils who are part of a class, but if the percentage is greater than 25% we may have to adjust the total number accordingly. Likewise we can run workshops at specialist schools with smaller numbers.
