The lesson was laid on for students from Bredon Hill Academy in Worcestershire after they won the Ultimate STEM Challenge 2017 competition earlier this year.
The winning students Amelie, Cathryn and Hattie joined a number of their classmates for a day of activities, including the “flying” session at the iFLY Centre in Milton Keynes.
The Ultimate STEM Challenge is a national science competition that asks students aged 11 to 14 to come up with solutions to one of three STEM-related problems. Amelie, Cathryn and Hattie were inspired by the “design” of the draco lizard when coming up with their solution to finding the best wing design for a remote controlled survey aircraft.
