Y5 Oaks combine Computing and D&T to show off their designs for exploring the Red Planet!
Hot on the heels of year 6's wonderful carousel products, year 5 have been creating ‘out of this world’ vehicles in their Design and Technology lessons this half term.
After producing a plan for a new vehicle to explore Mars (or at least a toy of one), the children got to work in groups creating a chassis using wood. The children had to measure carefully, cut safely and assemble their chassis so it was straight. They then had to motorise their creations before adding suitable body work. There was lots of problem solving on show, especially when things didn't quite work out as expected.
Below, you can see some of the fantastic finished examples Oaks created, along with what AI thinks they could look like if they were on the Mars surface.
