Construction Challenge

Secondary Schools

Duration: Full Day

Suitable For: KS3, KS4

Students work in small teams as an engineering firm bidding for contacts. They must build two different model structures, devise a marketing strategy and calculate their build costs.

Pricing

Our experienced team will put together a full or part-day programme of shows and workshops that fits into your school timetable and that allows sufficient time to set up, reset or clear away. The programme is tailored to each school and can usually include a mixture of activities for different Key Stages. A small number of activities may require two Science Oxford staff members, who could also run two streams of other activities simultaneously.

For timetables involving one staff member:

£230+VAT for a part day
£320+VAT for a whole day
15% discount for Member Schools

For timetables involving two staff members:

£360+VAT for a part day
£495+VAT for a whole day
15% discount for Member Schools
