As part of their STEAM curriculum, Year 7 pupils at the Prep School recently undertook an exciting project focused on energy innovation. Pupils were all given the same motor and were challenged to design, build, and test a prototype wind turbine.

Pupils brought a wide range of creative ideas to the table, incorporating unique designs and even experimenting with biodegradable materials. The final prototypes showcased an impressive variety of approaches to harnessing wind power, with results that were as varied as the designs themselves.

This hands-on project encouraged problem-solving and teamwork and gave pupils a deeper understanding of renewable energy and sustainability.
