This collection of resources provide challenges for children to design, make and improve. They link to aspects of D&T and provide a nice context for science learning. They also encourages problem solving, perseverance, creativity, cooperation and spatial thinking. A list of equipment needed is also supplied within the resource, though children could try to create a similar structure with materials available to them.
