Workshop
Enginuity brings you Skills Miner Aerospace, built in Minecraft to introduce 8-11 year olds to roles and skills required in engineering.
4 games built in Minecraft to propel your students straight into the world of Aerospace.
Learn what materials are used to construct an aircraft and their properties.
Can your students fix the plane after a power outage? We need them to fix the code in the flight deck, turn on the emergency lighting and programme the landing gear. Now the plane is built and working, it's going to need some fuel. Students will have the option to create a lithium battery, fuel a hydrogen fuel cell, or make sustainable aviation fuel.
When they've learned all of this, and have an excellent overview of many of the careers and pathways available to them through STEM subjects, they'll be able to create a 3 dimensional plane of their own.
Promoting STEM, the available resources harness young people’s love of gaming and it is designed for use during lessons, enrichment, or in after school clubs.
