STEM Challenge - Marble Run

Last Friday, years 1-6 took part in a STEM challenge. 
All children were given the same objective: to construct a marble run out of cardboard which allowed the marble to travel for the longest period of time. 
This was an inter-house challenge for KS2, with the children really embracing the opportunity. All of the staff were impressed with the attitudes of the children and team work ethos. 
At the end of the day, the best run from each house was taken to the Hall for an assembly where they competed against each other for the coveted ‘STEM’ trophy. 
Ultimately, Mills were victorious with a winning time of 21 seconds. 
It was lovely to see children from KS1 share their runs with the whole school.
