We had a great visit from David Allen an engineer who is Head of Fleet Services in Scotland and the North West. He was paired with our school by Porterbrook and has been instrumental in perfecting our locomotives and their performance. He also spent time talking to the children about his job, a career in engineering and working as a team to problem solve!

Students are provided with an introduction to the exciting world of engineering by using K’Nex to produce a solution for a given problem. A winning team will be chosen from each school based on their ability to work together, solve problems, produce a working model and communicate their ideas to each other and the judge. The team with the best solution will be invited to the Gloucestershire K’Nex final. Typically the session will last for 2 hours starting with and introduction giving the pupils an hour to create their own designs using the K’Nex construction kit. K’Nex is a very adaptable construction kit that allows the pupils to experiment with structures, gears and other mechanisms while modelling their design.
