Task 1 - STEM
Activity 1 - STEM
Here at Bishop Stopford School we take STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) very seriously. These subjects link together brilliantly and we have regular STEM days as well. This task challenges you to build a model of a home on the moon, thinking about all of the issues and dangers that living in space can present. Below is a brief that explains the project as well as some excellent videos that cover the main issues.
You will need to think about the size of your habitat, the materials you could use and how you will keep the astronauts safe.
If you would like to send me your results then my email address is below or you could bring them with you to your first DT lesson after the summer break.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

If you are really interested in STEM subjects then why not check out the Smallpiece Trust and their YouTube channel. They have some great engineering challenge videos on there which could inspire you to take your STEM journey even further!
Remember to be safe and sensible when conducting any practical work and ask an adult for help if you are unsure.
