Workshop
Working in teams, students are challenged to use digital tools and new technologies to tackle climate change in their area.
Secondary
Working in teams of four, students are challenged to use digital tools and new technologies to tackle climate change in their local area.
This activity encourages students to develop their employability skills, including listening, speaking, problem solving, creativity, and teamwork.
Students will work through the design process to research, design, and develop a prototype. Once they have created their prototype, it is then time to enter the 'Dragon’s Den' and communicate their findings as a group presentation.
Through the completion of this workshop, students will also be able to achieve a CREST Discovery Award.
This workshop supports the KS3 Science and Design and Technology national curriculum. This workshop also covers Gatsby Benchmark 3, 4 and sometimes 5 if volunteers/ambassadors are able to attend.
