Stemstruct Project - Design and Build an Eco Town for 2040
We have joined forces once again with Sentinus (a local Stem organisation that supports work in schools) to take part in this exciting construction project. The brief is to design and make an Eco town for the year 2040. In our first session an engineer visited our class and told us about the many jobs involved in planning and building a town. we also made some structures using art straws and knex. Key aspects of the project are:
- Town planning.
- Building a model of our town.
- Building an individual house, bungalow, apartment block; or non-residential property such as a hospital, supermarket or shop.
- Researching and writing about renewable energy sources.
- Building our own battery powered cars.
- Two meetings with engineers and architects.
Finally, we will present our completed project at Queen's University Belfast on 3rd December 2025.
