Mission 1 – Staying Afloat
Pearl lives on an island in Indonesia and she needs your help! Pearl is 10 and in the past few years the climate has been changing, big storms have become more common and rising seas have cut her off from the places where her people normally find their food. Pearl needs to build a raft to bring food back to her village, can you help her by building a prototype raft that can hold as much weight as possible? *Ship not included!
Mission 2 – Building Bridges
There has been a terrible earthquake in Nepal. Lots of buildings have been damaged and the main bridge into the town has fallen down. The bridge is so important because it is the only way to get food and supplies across the river, therefore Sanani, who is 9, wants to help rebuild his village. He has lots of ideas and always likes inventing and there is a lot of bamboo around that is easy for him to collect. The first step is to build a strong bridge that can enable vehicles to bring supplies across the river. Can you help Sanani prototype a bridge using eco-straws instead of bamboo?

Description
Super Strong Engineering STEM in a Box
The Super Strong Engineering STEM Box gives KS2 students everything they need to explore STEM, through stories about real world challenges. Our Super Strong Engineering kit provides all the equipment you need for approximately 10-12 hours which equals 2 days or 1 hour a week for a term of activity time for a class of 30. There are items in the box which can then be re-used for other classes, and each box maps onto the KS2 STEM curriculum, making this a valuable resource for any school.
Straws and activity bags are all made from compostable materials.
