An
asteroid is hurtling toward Earth! Before the impact, teams
of pupils represent different governments from around the
world. They need to track the asteroid and predict the environmental
consequences of the impact. Teams must design and finance
survival bunkers. Then they must select the population of
the bunker and determine how DNA screening will influence
their decision. It is the ultimate race against time as their
micro-society await the impact! Then teams model the damage
caused as the asteroid hits Earth.
Following
the impact pupils take the role of 'bunkered survivors'. Every
participant will face a range of practical problem-solving
tasks, including the construction of efficient generators
and electronic sensors as they struggle to survive against
the odds in a scenario designed to stimulate the most creative
thinkers! This is Citizenship combined with STEM.
"Engages
pupils from the outset, stretching their learning capacity
to new heights. A mix of diversity and innovation"
