Girl Engineers

As part of Construction Club, the girls are faced with challenges of many kinds. Challenges that may require fine motor skills and dexterity, others may involve electronics and circuits but all require teamwork, communication and perseverance.

These girls made a drum beater - and in the process learned how to make a solid structure and a lever mechanism.


These girls made a strumming instrument, similar to a guitar, but the challenge was the musician had to be 5 metres away from the 'guitar - like' structure. This posed a few problems.


This term ventures into circuits. 
Have a go at creating your own circuit here then try to complete these challenges below
