StePS
to engineering K'NEX Challenge
The
StePs to enineering KNEX challenge is an initiative developed
by StePs to engineering and Hasbro. The aim of the
challenge is to provide primary school pupils with an introduction
to the exciting world of engineering and design. Fourth
and fifth class children from primary schools all over Ireland
take part in the challenge every year. In February 2006
the second year B.Ed students took the K'NEX challenge as
part of their curriculum science course. The challenge
was to construct a space buggy, that could carry astronauts
and their exploration equipment over the rough and uneven
surface of the moon. This year's second year B.Ed
students will be taking a different StePS to engineering
KNEX challenge.
