Data logging - difference calculations
In this activity from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) students perform calculations and apply formulae to a spreadsheet of data collected by a data logger, in order to determine how many visitors to an aquarium at any one time.
The resource includes a presentation and teacher guidance.
Design a car of the future
Many different personal attributes can impact on road safety including a person's vision, ability to concentrate, reaction times and mobility. The car of the future should be designed to help people overcome these issues.
...Design a coronation throne
In this activity, aimed at primary-aged pupils, children will design a coronation throne for the coronation of King Charles III that incorporates modern technologies. Pupils will also think about how to communicate their design ideas using sketches, notes and annotations.
In these resources, learners will create a prototype food temperature probe using the micro:bit. The product must be able to provide a warning when the food is too cold to eat.
Design a football robot referee
This resource focusses on learners designing a robot to act as an assistant referee during a game of football on the Moon.

In these activities, learners will look at the requirements for a good home security system and develop their own programmable alarm system.
Design a hoverboard
Magnetism is a key scientific phenomenon. Utilising this has allowed designers to create new and innovative products, such as fully working MAGLEV trains and hoverboards.
This resource focusses on designing a hoverboard that works using magnetism and magnetic field.
Design a jet pack for playing football on the Moon
Students will design a jet pack that can be worn by either the players or referee during a football game on the Moon. They will consider how a jet pack works and the different parts of a jet pack. They will then sketch an idea for a wearable jet pack with consideration for how it will fit, the weight of the jet...
