The challenges in this STEM resource invite learners to explore innovations within flight technology.Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more sustainable.
All the resources on this page are available for free for anyone to download.
What do I need for the activities in this resource?
We want to make the resource as inclusive and accessible as possible. We do provide some physical hands-on materials, but most of the challenges can be adapted to use items that are easy to find around the house or in most classrooms.
Any school who is part of our Connecting STEM Teachers programme will receive:
- hard-copies of the resource
- a box of the materials needed to run the activities and challenges. All for free!

Engineering habits quiz
Engineers making 'things' that work or make 'things' work better. But they do this in particular ways. The 'engineering habits' describe the way engineers think and act. But remember results are not fixed! If you take the quiz several times, you might find that different engineering habits are stronger depending on the type of activity or challenge you are doing. Engineering is all about having a diverse group of people and skills so having different engineers with different habits of mind in any team is always important!
