In another very different workshop, students were challenged to build ‘Malik’s Bridge’, workshop facilitators Kunda Kids took the students on a tour across African countries and cultures as they joined Malik’s friends in a national science competition. Embarking on a new challenge, students formed groups and designed a brand new bridge that would be strong enough to connect different countries together. Using wind machines, rocks and tape, the bridges were challenged to see if they would stand the test of time, weight and travelling cars.
Sutton Hidden Worlds learning resources have been shared with schools across the borough, encouraging teachers and students to explore STEAM subjects through the exploring everyday Sutton. To add to the fun, special foldscopes are being mailed directly to schools, for students to get a glimpse beneath the surface of the world around them.
On top of that, Sutton’s Hidden Worlds has partnered with the Natural History Museum to treat a group of students to a full day at NHM. Getting the scoop behind the scenes about what it means to work everyday as a scientist!
