AimHigher Engineering trip to Edinburgh University

During the last week of June I joined four Year 10 students on a three day trip to Edinburgh University. The activities included soldering and testing a circuit board for an electronic game, designing chemical rockets and going to a lecture by the man who invented the worlds smallest tv screen.

Soldering circuit boards and Deanna is in control of her team's design for the Pot Noodle Challenge.



I didn't manage to film the best ones  but it here is a not so successful chemical rocket!
