Flying Start Challenge - Round 2

4 Mar 25

The engineers from AtkinsRéalis were back last week to support the winning teams from the first round of the Flying Start Challenge as they began to build their gliders. They worked with the students to discuss the principles of flight and how they can incorporate them into their design. Students have to follow a strict brief, using recycled materials and sticking to a budget as they design their glider. Once completed, they will test their designs in a fly-off to decide which team will move on to the next stage of the competition.

My favourite subject was maths because of my teacher Mr Davies who I would love to thank personally one day as I used to hate maths. I love making on impact on my students lives and knowing that I can do what Mr Davies did for me. Inspire.
