Bloodhound Desert Wheels Design and Technology Project: This STEM project is inspired by the Bloodhound Land Speed Record. The aim of the project is to use science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths to design and build wheels for a model car which can then be tested on a simulated desert track.
This KS2 Design and Technology project comprises of eight activities. Working safely with aluminium cans, teams of 4 aim to design and build wheels for a model car, which are then tested on a simulated desert track.
The CREST Awards provide teachers and home educators with simple and adaptable activities aligned to the national curriculum.
CREST gives young people aged 5–19 the chance to choose their own subject and methodology when completing their hands-on investigation.
