Pecking Birds
For the younger students - see how toys are designed using the computer, watch the manufacturing process, then assemble a working toy.
INTECH Flyer Challenge
Using either the pre-marked plane design or a blank sheet of A4, it's your challenge to create a plane that's going to out fly all the others.
Planes are launched from the 'Plane Factory Launcher' to ensure fairness!
Different design briefs for different stages.

A variety of Challenges can be set using the components in the kits provided.
For example:
1) Design and make a bridge which spans 50 cm and is capable of supporting 1 kg.
2) Design and make a vehicle which travels the fastest and furthest after descending a specified incline.
Turtle Power
See how Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Manufacture (CAM) works. Build a cam operated Turtle from the components provided. The head moves via a mechanical link with a cam on the back wheel. No tools are needed for the final assembly, just attention to detail and patience.
Choose from a series of Radio Workshops starting with the basic construction of an AM radio. Additional opportunities are to design and make a cover and working with radio amateurs to listen in on world radio. Specialist Radio workshops are also possible.
As an introduction to the world of manufacture, designing and making your own clock provides an insight into how CAD/CAM and mechanics can combine.
Different design briefs for different stages.
Using Intel microscopes, 1 between 2, explore the names and functions of the different parts of the flower.
MEASUREMENT & DATA LOGGING WORKSHOPS
Our "Dataharvest" sensors can measure current, voltage, temperature, sound intensity, pressure, force, time, distance, velocity, reaction times, heart rate, light intensity, infra red and relative position and more….
Use data capture equipment to take measurements from INTECH exhibits and around the INTECH building or at your school.
Question, predict, collect evidence and discuss your findings. Draw your own conclusions and evaluate your results.
Investigate dynamic systems using the sensors and our special tracks.
Key ideas: Velocity, acceleration, momentum, the effects of collisions.
Workshops can be tailored to specific curricular objectives.
Discovery SE – bringing science to life in primary schools
A series of 6 part sponsored workshops focusing on "Scientific Enquiry", enabling children to explore and understand concepts in an exciting way. Activities are based on national curriculum criteria for science, ICT and D & T and deliverered in schools for single days or whole weeks. Discounted by £1/head
Control Technology
Programme a barrier using Lego DactaTM and use traffic lights and control sensors to control cars as they enter a car park.
Pneumatics & Hydraulics
Explore pneumatics and hydraulics with your own self-built balloon buggy or pop bottle water rockets.
Structures
Construct experimental structures. Use these skills in a challenge to design and build a vehicle, tower or bridge using Brio or KNex the tallest and strongest tower using K’NexTM.
Data Logging
Measure and record temperature, sound and light levels around your school. Display the data collcted on a computer as graphs for analysis.
Forces and Gravity
Complete the egg drop challenge to explore gravity and air resistance. Investigate magnetic attraction and repulsion and forces that push, pull and twist.
Electrical Circuits
