Last week Penpol had a very exciting visit from Ruth and Shawn – otherwise known as Kids Invent Stuff – to talk about all things engineering, inventing and creating!
The day started with the whole school having the opportunity to enjoy an assembly with Ruth and Shawn, where they introduced a challenge for us all to take part in.
The challenge is simple – to invent something new that utilises wearable technology, a switch or a bicycle. This competition is being run to celebrate the IETs 150th anniversary and entries from schools all around the world will be collected up, carefully considered and then one will actually be built in real life! It’s very exciting and over the course of the day our students showed just how creative their ideas are.
Below are some pictures of the visit, including some of our Year 5’s working away on their own invention ideas.
