Product evolution

St Bonaventure’s School met with a STEM Ambassador from the BBC. She discussed her career and the various different jobs involved in product creation.
Using a TED talk as a starting point students worked through the activities with the STEM Ambassador.
As an extension activity, students then used the Dyson Engineering Box to learn about disassembly, why it is so important for product designers and engineers, and how to use it in their own designs.
